The version of WebSphere Application Server installed on the remote host is 7.0.0.x through 7.0.0.45, 8.0.0.x through 8.0.0.15, 8.5.x through 8.5.5.17, or 9.0.x through 9.0.5.5. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the 6334311 advisory.
Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the applicationโs self-reported version number.
