The version of FFmpeg installed on the remote host is 7.1 prior to 7.2. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability:

  - Unchecked Return Value, Out-of-bounds Read vulnerability in FFmpeg allows Read Sensitive Constants Within an     executable. (CVE-2025-0518)

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