It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2023-2024-663 advisory.

In Emacs before 29.3, Gnus treats inline MIME contents as trusted. (CVE-2024-30203)

In Emacs before 29.3, LaTeX preview is enabled by default for e-mail attachments. (CVE-2024-30204)

In Emacs before 29.3, Org mode considers contents of remote files to be trusted. This affects Org Mode     before 9.6.23. (CVE-2024-30205)

In Emacs before 29.4, org-link-expand-abbrev in lisp/ol.el expands a %(...) link abbrev even when it     specifies an unsafe function, such as shell-command-to-string. This affects Org Mode before 9.7.5.
(CVE-2024-39331)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the tested product security advisory.

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