The remote host is running a version of macOS / Mac OS X that is 12.x prior to 12.7.4. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities:

  - A timing side-channel issue was addressed with improvements to constant-time computation in cryptographic     functions. This issue is fixed in macOS Sonoma 14.3, watchOS 10.3, tvOS 17.3, iOS 17.3 and iPadOS 17.3. An     attacker may be able to decrypt legacy RSA PKCS#1 v1.5 ciphertexts without having the private key.
    (CVE-2024-23218)

  - A memory corruption issue was addressed with improved validation. This issue is fixed in iOS 16.7.6 and     iPadOS 16.7.6, iOS 17.4 and iPadOS 17.4. An attacker with arbitrary kernel read and write capability may     be able to bypass kernel memory protections. Apple is aware of a report that this issue may have been     exploited. (CVE-2024-23225)

  - The issue was addressed with additional permissions checks. This issue is fixed in macOS Sonoma 14.3,     watchOS 10.3, iOS 17.3 and iPadOS 17.3. A shortcut may be able to use sensitive data with certain actions     without prompting the user. (CVE-2024-23204)

  - A logic issue was addressed with improved checks. (CVE-2024-23272, CVE-2024-23276)

  - This issue was addressed with improved redaction of sensitive information. (CVE-2023-28826,     CVE-2024-23227)

  - A downgrade issue affecting Intel-based Mac computers was addressed with additional code-signing     restrictions. (CVE-2024-23269)

  - The issue was addressed with improved memory handling. (CVE-2024-23247, CVE-2024-23257, CVE-2024-23270)

  - A logic issue was addressed with improved restrictions. (CVE-2024-23244)

  - A buffer overflow issue was addressed with improved memory handling. (CVE-2024-23286)

  - An out-of-bounds write issue was addressed with improved input validation. (CVE-2024-23234)

  - The issue was addressed with improved checks. (CVE-2024-23266, CVE-2024-23267)

  - A permissions issue was addressed with additional restrictions. (CVE-2024-23201)

  - A validation issue was addressed with improved input sanitization. (CVE-2024-23264)

  - A privacy issue was addressed with improved private data redaction for log entries. (CVE-2024-23283)

  - An injection issue was addressed with improved input validation. (CVE-2024-23268, CVE-2024-23274)

  - A race condition was addressed with additional validation. (CVE-2024-23275)

  - A path handling issue was addressed with improved validation. (CVE-2024-23216)

  - This issue was addressed by adding an additional prompt for user consent. (CVE-2024-23245)

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