The remote host is running a version of macOS / Mac OS X that is prior to Catalina Security Update 2022-003 Catalina. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities :

  - An application may be able to gain elevated privileges (CVE-2022-22617, CVE-2022-22631)

  - An application may be able to read restricted memory (CVE-2022-22648)

  - Processing a maliciously crafted AppleScript binary may result in unexpected application termination or     disclosure of process memory (CVE-2022-22625, CVE-2022-22626, CVE-2022-22627)

  - Processing a maliciously crafted file may lead to arbitrary code execution (CVE-2022-22597)

  - A maliciously crafted ZIP archive may bypass Gatekeeper checks (CVE-2022-22616)

  - An application may be able to execute arbitrary code with kernel privileges (CVE-2022-22613,     CVE-2022-22614, CVE-2022-22615, CVE-2022-22661)

  - An attacker in a privileged position may be able to perform a denial of service attack (CVE-2022-22638)

  - A person with access to a Mac may be able to bypass Login Window (CVE-2022-22647)

  - A local attacker may be able to view the previous logged in user's desktop from the fast user switching     screen (CVE-2022-22656)

  - A plug-in may be able to inherit the application's permissions and access user data (CVE-2022-22650)

  - Processing maliciously crafted web content may disclose sensitive user information (CVE-2022-22662)

  - A local user may be able to write arbitrary files (CVE-2022-22582)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue 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 12.x prior to 12.3 Monterey. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities, including the following:
  - A use after free issue was addressed with improved memory management. Successful exploitation could   result in arbitrary code execution with kernel privileges (CVE-2022-22614). 

  - A logic issue was addressed with improved state management. Successful exploitation could result in   privilege escalation (CVE-2022-22632).

  - A null pointer dereference was addressed with improved validation. Successful exploitation could   result in a denial of service condition. (CVE-2022-22638).

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue 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 11.x prior to 11.6.5 Big Sur. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities including the following:

  - Opening a maliciously crafted PDF file may lead to an unexpected application termination or arbitrary code     execution. (CVE-2022-22633)

  - Processing a maliciously crafted AppleScript binary may result in unexpected application termination or     disclosure of process memory. (CVE-2022-22626, CVE-2022-22627)

  - A local attacker may be able to view the previous logged in user's desktop from the fast user switching     screen. (CVE-2022-22579)

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