The version of Artifex Ghostscript installed on the remote Windows host is prior to 9.27. It is, therefore, affected by a security bypass vulnerability due to some privileged operators remained accessible from various places after the CVE-2019-6116 fix. An authenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, via specially crafted PostScript file, to access the file system outside of the constrains imposed by -dSAFER.
