The version of Tomcat installed on the remote host is prior to 8.5.79. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the fixed_in_apache_tomcat_8.5.79_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.

untrusted network. This was not correct. While the EncryptInterceptor does provide confidentiality and
integrity protection, it does not protect against all risks associated with running over any untrusted
network, particularly DoS risks. (CVE-2022-29885)
