Synopsis

The remote host is missing a macOS update that fixes a code execution vulnerability

Description

The remote host is running a version of macOS / Mac OS X that is 13.x prior to 13.4.1 (a). It is, therefore, affected by a code execution vulnerability in the WebKit component. Processing web content may lead to arbitrary code execution.

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

Solution

Upgrade to macOS 13.4.1 (a) or later.
