The version of ca-certificates installed on the remote host is prior to 2018.2.22-65.1.29. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the ALAS-2023-1690 advisory.
Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.

- Certifi is a curated collection of Root Certificates for validating the trustworthiness of SSL
certificates while verifying the identity of TLS hosts. Certifi 2022.12.07 removes root certificates from
TrustCor from the root store. These are in the process of being removed from Mozilla's trust store.
TrustCor's root certificates are being removed pursuant to an investigation prompted by media reporting
that TrustCor's ownership also operated a business that produced spyware. Conclusions of Mozilla's
investigation can be found in the linked google group discussion. (CVE-2022-23491)
