The version of 7-Zip installed on the remote host is prior to 24.07. It is, therefore, affected by a remote code execution vulnerability as referenced in the ZDI-24-1532 advisory.

  - This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on affected installations of 7-Zip.
    Interaction with this library is required to exploit this vulnerability but attack vectors may vary     depending on the implementation. The specific flaw exists within the implementation of Zstandard     decompression. The issue results from the lack of proper validation of user-supplied data, which can     result in an integer underflow before writing to memory. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to     execute code in the context of the current process. (CVE-2024-11477)

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