The remote Ubuntu 18.04 ESM / 20.04 LTS / 22.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-6491-1 advisory.

Axel Chong discovered that Node.js incorrectly handled certain inputs. If a user or an automated system     were tricked into opening a specially crafted input file, a remote attacker could possibly use this issue     to execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2022-32212)

Zeyu Zhang discovered that Node.js incorrectly handled certain inputs. If a user or an automated system     were tricked into opening a specially crafted input file, a remote attacker could possibly use this issue     to execute arbitrary code. This issue only affected Ubuntu 22.04 LTS. (CVE-2022-32213, CVE-2022-32214,     CVE-2022-32215)

It was discovered that Node.js incorrectly handled certain inputs. If a user or an automated system were     tricked into opening a specially crafted input file, a remote attacker could possibly use this issue to     execute arbitrary code. This issue only affected Ubuntu 22.04 LTS. (CVE-2022-35256)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory.

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