The version of VMware ESXi installed on the remote host is prior to 7.0 Update 3q or 8.0 prior to 8.0 Update 3. It is, therefore, affected by an out-of-bounds read vulnerability as referenced in the VMSA-2024-0013 advisory:
Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.
