The version of Adobe Audition installed on the remote macOS host is prior to 14.4.2. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the APSB21-92 advisory.

  - Adobe Audition version 14.4 (and earlier) is affected by a memory corruption vulnerability when parsing a     M4A file, potentially resulting in arbitrary code execution in the context of the current user. User     interaction is required to exploit this vulnerability. (CVE-2021-40739, CVE-2021-40740)

  - Adobe Audition version 14.4 (and earlier) is affected by a memory corruption vulnerability when parsing a     SVG file, potentially resulting in arbitrary code execution in the context of the current user. User     interaction is required to exploit this vulnerability. (CVE-2021-40734)

  - Adobe Audition version 14.4 (and earlier) is affected by a memory corruption vulnerability, potentially     resulting in arbitrary code execution in the context of the current user. User interaction is required to     exploit this vulnerability. (CVE-2021-40735, CVE-2021-40736)

  - Adobe Audition version 14.4 (and earlier) is affected by a Null pointer dereference vulnerability when     parsing a specially crafted file. An unauthenticated attacker could leverage this vulnerability to achieve     an application denial-of-service in the context of the current user. Exploitation of this issue requires     user interaction in that a victim must open a malicious file. (CVE-2021-40737, CVE-2021-40742)

  - Adobe Audition version 14.4 (and earlier) is affected by a memory corruption vulnerability when parsing a     WAV file, potentially resulting in arbitrary code execution in the context of the current user. User     interaction is required to exploit this vulnerability. (CVE-2021-40738)

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