The remote host is running a version of macOS / Mac OS X that is 10.15.x prior to 10.15.5, 10.13.x prior to 10.13.6 Security Update 2020-003, 10.14.x prior to 10.14.6 Security Update 2020-003. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities:

  • In ksh version 20120801, a flaw was found in the way it evaluates certain environment variables. An attacker could use this flaw to override or bypass environment restrictions to execute shell commands. Services and applications that allow remote unauthenticated attackers to provide one of those environment variables could allow them to exploit this issue remotely.
    (CVE-2019-14868)

  • In Zsh before 5.8, attackers able to execute commands can regain privileges dropped by the --no-PRIVILEGED option. Zsh fails to overwrite the saved uid, so the original privileges can be restored by executing MODULE_PATH=/dir/with/module zmodload with a module that calls setuid(). (CVE-2019-20044)

  • An out-of-bounds read was addressed with improved input validation. This issue is fixed in iOS 13.3.1 and iPadOS 13.3.1, macOS Catalina 10.15.3, tvOS 13.3.1, watchOS 6.1.2. Processing a maliciously crafted image may lead to arbitrary code execution. (CVE-2020-3878)

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