According to its self reported version, the remote Apache Traffic Server install is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

  - Apache Traffic Server forwards malformed HTTP chunked trailer section to origin servers. This can be utilized for     request smuggling and may also lead cache poisoning if the origin servers are vulnerable. (CVE-2024-35161)

  - Apache Traffic Server accepts characters that are not allowed for HTTP field names and forwards malformed requests     to origin servers. This can be utilized for request smuggling and may also lead cache poisoning if the origin     servers are vulnerable. (CVE-2023-38522)

  - Invalid Accept-Encoding header can cause Apache Traffic Server to fail cache lookup and force forwarding requests     (CVE-2024-35296)

Note that Nessus did not actually test for these issues, but instead has relied on the version found in the server's banner.
