The remote host is running a version of macOS / Mac OS X that is 15.x prior to 15.7.2. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities:

  - Ruby WEBrick read_header HTTP Request Smuggling Vulnerability. This vulnerability allows remote attackers     to smuggle arbitrary HTTP requests on affected installations of Ruby WEBrick. This issue is exploitable     when the product is deployed behind an HTTP proxy that fulfills specific conditions. The specific flaw     exists within the read_headers method. The issue results from the inconsistent parsing of terminators of     HTTP headers. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to smuggle arbitrary HTTP requests. Was ZDI-     CAN-21876. (CVE-2025-6442)

  - REXML is an XML toolkit for Ruby. The REXML gem before 3.3.6 has a DoS vulnerability when it parses an XML     that has many deep elements that have same local name attributes. If you need to parse untrusted XMLs with     tree parser API like REXML::Document.new, you may be impacted to this vulnerability. If you use other     parser APIs such as stream parser API and SAX2 parser API, this vulnerability is not affected. The REXML     gem 3.3.6 or later include the patch to fix the vulnerability. (CVE-2024-43398)

  - REXML is an XML toolkit for Ruby. The REXML gem before 3.3.9 has a ReDoS vulnerability when it parses an     XML that has many digits between &# and x...; in a hex numeric character reference (&#x...;). This does     not happen with Ruby 3.2 or later. Ruby 3.1 is the only affected maintained Ruby. The REXML gem 3.3.9 or     later include the patch to fix the vulnerability. (CVE-2024-49761)

  - A permissions issue was addressed with improved validation. This issue is fixed in macOS Ventura 13.7.5,     iPadOS 17.7.6, macOS Sequoia 15.4, macOS Sonoma 14.7.5. A shortcut may be able to access files that are     normally inaccessible to the Shortcuts app. (CVE-2025-30465)

  - A race condition was addressed with improved state handling. This issue is fixed in macOS Sequoia 15.7,     macOS Tahoe 26. An app may be able to access sensitive user data. (CVE-2025-43292)

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

The remote host is running a version of macOS / Mac OS X that is 26.x prior to 26.1. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities:

  - Sudo before 1.9.17p1, when used with a sudoers file that specifies a host that is neither the current host     nor ALL, allows listed users to execute commands on unintended machines. (CVE-2025-32462)

  - REXML is an XML toolkit for Ruby. The REXML gem before 3.3.6 has a DoS vulnerability when it parses an XML     that has many deep elements that have same local name attributes. If you need to parse untrusted XMLs with     tree parser API like REXML::Document.new, you may be impacted to this vulnerability. If you use other     parser APIs such as stream parser API and SAX2 parser API, this vulnerability is not affected. The REXML     gem 3.3.6 or later include the patch to fix the vulnerability.

  - Vim is an open source, command line text editor. Prior to version 9.1.1551, a path traversal issue in     Vim's zip.vim plugin can allow overwriting of arbitrary files when opening specially crafted zip archives.
    Impact is low because this exploit requires direct user interaction. However, successfully exploitation     can lead to overwriting sensitive files or placing executable code in privileged locations, depending on     the permissions of the process editing the archive. The victim must edit such a file using Vim which will     reveal the filename and the file content, a careful user may suspect some strange things going on.
    Successful exploitation could results in the ability to execute arbitrary commands on the underlying     operating system. Version 9.1.1551 contains a patch for the vulnerability. (CVE-2025-53906)

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

The remote host is running a version of macOS / Mac OS X that is 14.x prior to 14.8.2. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities:

  - The issue was addressed with improved input validation. This issue is fixed in tvOS 26, watchOS 26,     visionOS 26, macOS Tahoe 26, iOS 26 and iPadOS 26. Processing a maliciously crafted media file may lead to     unexpected app termination or corrupt process memory. (CVE-2025-43372)
