The version of haproxy2 installed on the remote host is prior to 2.2.17-1. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the ALAS2HAPROXY2-2023-007 advisory.
Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.
