The version of webkitgtk4 installed on the remote host is prior to 2.38.5-3. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the ALAS2-2023-2177 advisory.

  • The issue was addressed with improved checks. This issue is fixed in iOS 16.6 and iPadOS 16.6, Safari 16.5.2, tvOS 16.6, macOS Ventura 13.5, watchOS 9.6. Processing web content may lead to arbitrary code execution. Apple is aware of a report that this issue may have been actively exploited. (CVE-2023-37450)

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