The version of Adobe Reader installed on the remote macOS host is a version prior to 20.005.30467 or 23.001.20143. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

  - Adobe Acrobat Reader versions 23.001.20093 (and earlier) and 20.005.30441 (and earlier) are affected by an     out-of-bounds read vulnerability when parsing a crafted file, which could result in a read past the end of     an allocated memory structure. An attacker could leverage this vulnerability to execute code in the     context of the current user. Exploitation of this issue requires user interaction in that a victim must     open a malicious file. (CVE-2023-26425)

  - Adobe Acrobat Reader versions 23.001.20093 (and earlier) and 20.005.30441 (and earlier) are affected by an     out-of-bounds write vulnerability that could result in 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-2023-26395)

  - Adobe Acrobat Reader versions 23.001.20093 (and earlier) and 20.005.30441 (and earlier) are affected by a     Creation of Temporary File in Directory with Incorrect Permissions vulnerability that could result in     privilege escalation in the context of the current user. Exploitation of this issue requires user     interaction in that a victim must open a malicious file. (CVE-2023-26396)

  - Adobe Acrobat Reader versions 23.001.20093 (and earlier) and 20.005.30441 (and earlier) are affected by an     out-of-bounds read vulnerability that could lead to disclosure of sensitive memory. An attacker could     leverage this vulnerability to bypass mitigations such as ASLR. Exploitation of this issue requires user     interaction in that a victim must open a malicious file. (CVE-2023-26397)

  - Adobe Acrobat Reader versions 23.001.20093 (and earlier) and 20.005.30441 (and earlier) are affected by an     Improper Input Validation vulnerability that could result in 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-2023-26405, CVE-2023-26407)

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