The version of Splunk installed on the remote host is prior to tested version. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the SVD-2023-0805 advisory.
Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.

ships with Splunk Enterprise references an insecure path for the OPENSSLDIR build definition. An attacker
can abuse this reference and subsequently install malicious code to achieve privilege escalation on the
Windows machine. (CVE-2023-40596)
