A compression utility installed on the remote Windows host is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.Description

It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities:- A remote code execution vulnerability exists in 7-zip due to an integer underflow. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, by tricking a user into opening a specially crafted archive, to execute arbitrary code on the system. (CVE-2023-31102)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.
