The version of Adobe Reader installed on the remote macOS host is a version prior to 2017.011.30197, 2020.004.30005, or 2021.005.20048. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities.
Acrobat Reader DC versions versions 2021.001.20155 (and earlier), 2020.001.30025 (and earlier) and 2017.011.30196 (and earlier) are affected by an Out-of-bounds Read vulnerability. An unauthenticated attacker could leverage this vulnerability to achieve arbitrary code execution in the context of the current user. Exploitation of this issue requires user interaction in that a victim must open a malicious file. (CVE-2021-28554)

(CVE-2021-28552, CVE-2021-28631, CVE-2021-28632)
Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.
