The version of Fortigate installed on the remote host is prior to tested version. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the FG-IR-21-242 advisory.

  • Animproper neutralization of special elements used in an os command [CWE-78] vulnerability in FortiOSmay allow an authenticated attacker to execute privileged commands on a linked FortiSwitch via diagnostic CLI commands. (CVE-2021-44171)

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