The version of Apache httpd installed on the remote host is prior to 2.4.49. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the 2.4.49 changelog.

  • A crafted request uri-path can cause mod_proxy to forward the request to an origin server choosen by the remote user. (CVE-2021-40438)

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