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:

  - A memory corruption issue was addressed with improved lock state checking. This issue is fixed in iOS     18.7.2 and iPadOS 18.7.2, iOS 26.1 and iPadOS 26.1, macOS Sequoia 15.7.2, macOS Sonoma 14.8.2, macOS Tahoe     26.1, tvOS 26.1, visionOS 26.1, watchOS 26.1. A malicious application may cause unexpected changes in     memory shared between processes. (CVE-2025-43510)

  - 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. (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 iPadOS 17.7.6, macOS     Sequoia 15.4, macOS Sequoia 15.7.2, macOS Sonoma 14.7.5, macOS Sonoma 14.8.2, macOS Tahoe 26.1, macOS     Ventura 13.7.5. A shortcut may be able to access files that are normally inaccessible to the Shortcuts     app. (CVE-2025-30465)

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 13.x prior to 13.7.5. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities:

  - A use after free issue was addressed with improved memory management. This issue is fixed in iOS 18.3 and     iPadOS 18.3, iPadOS 17.7.6, macOS Sequoia 15.3, macOS Sonoma 14.7.5, macOS Ventura 13.7.5, tvOS 18.3,     visionOS 2.3, watchOS 11.3. A malicious application may be able to elevate privileges. Apple is aware of a     report that this issue may have been actively exploited against versions of iOS before iOS 17.2.
    (CVE-2025-24085)

  - The issue was addressed with improved handling of protocols. This issue is fixed in iOS 18.2 and iPadOS     18.2, macOS Sequoia 15.2, macOS Sonoma 14.7.5, macOS Ventura 13.7.5, tvOS 18.2, watchOS 11.2. An attacker     in a privileged network position may be able to track a user's activity. (CVE-2024-40864)

  - A permissions issue was addressed with additional sandbox restrictions. This issue is fixed in macOS     Sequoia 15.2, macOS Sonoma 14.7.5, macOS Ventura 13.7.5. An app may be able to access sensitive user data.
    (CVE-2024-54533)

  - libxml2 before 2.12.10 and 2.13.x before 2.13.6 has a use-after-free in xmlSchemaIDCFillNodeTables and     xmlSchemaBubbleIDCNodeTables in xmlschemas.c. To exploit this, a crafted XML document must be validated     against an XML schema with certain identity constraints, or a crafted XML schema must be used.
    (CVE-2024-56171)

  - When curl is asked to use HSTS, the expiry time for a subdomain might overwrite a parent domain's cache     entry, making it end sooner or later than otherwise intended. This affects curl using applications that     enable HSTS and use URLs with the insecure `HTTP://` scheme and perform transfers with hosts like     `x.example.com` as well as `example.com` where the first host is a subdomain of the second host. (The HSTS     cache either needs to have been populated manually or there needs to have been previous HTTPS accesses     done as the cache needs to have entries for the domains involved to trigger this problem.) When     `x.example.com` responds with `Strict-Transport-Security:` headers, this bug can make the subdomain's     expiry timeout *bleed over* and get set for the parent domain `example.com` in curl's HSTS cache. The     result of a triggered bug is that HTTP accesses to `example.com` get converted to HTTPS for a different     period of time than what was asked for by the origin server. If `example.com` for example stops supporting     HTTPS at its expiry time, curl might then fail to access `http://example.com` until the (wrongly set)     timeout expires. This bug can also expire the parent's entry *earlier*, thus making curl inadvertently     switch back to insecure HTTP earlier than otherwise intended. (CVE-2024-9681)
