A logic issue was addressed with improved restrictions. This issue is fixed in macOS Catalina 10.15.5. Inserting a USB device that sends invalid messages may cause a kernel panic.

The remote host is running a version of macOS / Mac OS X that is 10.15.x prior to 10.15.5, 10.13.x prior to 10.13.6 Security Update 2020-003, 10.14.x prior to 10.14.6 Security Update 2020-003. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities:

  - In ksh version 20120801, a flaw was found in the way it     evaluates certain environment variables. An attacker     could use this flaw to override or bypass environment     restrictions to execute shell commands. Services and     applications that allow remote unauthenticated attackers     to provide one of those environment variables could     allow them to exploit this issue remotely.
    (CVE-2019-14868)

  - In Zsh before 5.8, attackers able to execute commands     can regain privileges dropped by the --no-PRIVILEGED     option. Zsh fails to overwrite the saved uid, so the     original privileges can be restored by executing     MODULE_PATH=/dir/with/module zmodload with a module that     calls setuid(). (CVE-2019-20044)

  - An out-of-bounds read was addressed with improved input     validation. This issue is fixed in iOS 13.3.1 and iPadOS     13.3.1, macOS Catalina 10.15.3, tvOS 13.3.1, watchOS     6.1.2. Processing a maliciously crafted image may lead     to arbitrary code execution. (CVE-2020-3878)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the operating system's self-reported version number.
