The version of Google Chrome installed on the remote macOS host is prior to 116.0.5845.179. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the 2023_09_stable-channel-update-for-desktop advisory.
Out of bounds memory access in FedCM. (CVE-2023-4761)
Type Confusion in V8. (CVE-2023-4762)
Use after free in Networks. (CVE-2023-4763)
Incorrect security UI in BFCache. (CVE-2023-4764)
Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.
