The version of Tomcat installed on the remote host is prior to 7.0.91. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the fixed_in_apache_tomcat_7.0.91_security-7 advisory.
Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.

- When the default servlet in Apache Tomcat versions 9.0.0.M1 to 9.0.11, 8.5.0 to 8.5.33 and 7.0.23 to
7.0.90 returned a redirect to a directory (e.g. redirecting to '/foo/' when the user requested '/foo') a
specially crafted URL could be used to cause the redirect to be generated to any URI of the attackers
choice. (CVE-2018-11784)
