The version of Apache OpenOffice installed on the remote host is a version prior to 4.1.15. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as stated in the vendor advisories and release notes.

  - Apache OpenOffice documents can contain links that call internal macros with arbitrary     arguments. Several URI Schemes are defined for this purpose. Links can be activated by     clicks, or by automatic document events. The execution of such links must be subject     to user approval. In the affected versions of Apache OpenOffice, approval for certain     links is not requested; when activated, such links could therefore result in arbitrary     script execution. This is a corner case of 2022-47502. (CVE-2023-47804)

  - An attacker can craft an OBD containing a 'database/script' file with a SCRIPT command     where the contents of the file could be written to a new file whose location was determined     by the attacker. (CVE-2023-1183)

  - In Apache OpenOffice and LibreOffice embedded content will be opened automatically without     that a warning is shown. (CVE-2012-5639)

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