According to its self-reported version, the Tenable Nessus agent running on the remote Windows host is prior to 8.2.5. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities:

  • Multiple local privilege escalation vulnerabilities. A local attacker can exploit these to gain administrator privileges to the system. (CVE-2021-20099, CVE-2021-20100)

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