The version of Adobe Acrobat installed on the remote macOS host is a version prior to 2017.011.30196, 2020.001.30025, or 2021.001.20155. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

  - Acrobat Reader DC versions versions 2021.001.20150 (and earlier), 2020.001.30020 (and earlier) and     2017.011.30194 (and earlier) are affected by a memory corruption vulnerability. An unauthenticated     attacker could leverage this vulnerability to achieve arbitrary code execution in the context of the     current user. Exploitation of this issue requires user interaction in that a victim must open a malicious     file. (CVE-2021-28561)
