The version of Tomcat installed on the remote host is prior to 8.0.48. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the fixed_in_apache_tomcat_8.0.48_security-8 advisory.
Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.

"The version of Tomcat installed on the remote host is prior to 8.0.48. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as
referenced in the fixed_in_apache_tomcat_8.0.48_security-8 advisory.
- As part of the fix for bug 61201, the documentation for Apache Tomcat 9.0.0.M22 to 9.0.1, 8.5.16 to
8.5.23, 8.0.45 to 8.0.47 and 7.0.79 to 7.0.82 included an updated description of the search algorithm used
by the CGI Servlet to identify which script to execute. The update was not correct. As a result, some
scripts may have failed to execute as expected and other scripts may have been executed unexpectedly. Note
that the behaviour of the CGI servlet has remained unchanged in this regard. It is only the documentation
of the behaviour that was wrong and has been corrected. (CVE-2017-15706)
Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
