Synopsis

The remote host is missing a macOS update that fixes multiple vulnerabilities

Description

The remote host is running a version of macOS / Mac OS X that is 13.x prior to 13.6. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities:

 - A malicious app may be able to bypass signature validation. (CVE-2023-41991)

- A local attacker may be able to elevate their privileges (CVE-2023-41992)

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 13.6 or later.
