The version of tested product installed on the remote host is prior to tested version. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS-2020-1423 advisory.

  - The JSON gem before 1.5.5, 1.6.x before 1.6.8, and 1.7.x before 1.7.7 for Ruby allows remote attackers to     cause a denial of service (resource consumption) or bypass the mass assignment protection mechanism via a     crafted JSON document that triggers the creation of arbitrary Ruby symbols or certain internal objects, as     demonstrated by conducting a SQL injection attack against Ruby on Rails, aka Unsafe Object Creation     Vulnerability. (CVE-2013-0269)

  - The JSON gem through 2.2.0 for Ruby, as used in Ruby 2.4 through 2.4.9, 2.5 through 2.5.7, and 2.6 through     2.6.5, has an Unsafe Object Creation Vulnerability. This is quite similar to CVE-2013-0269, but does not     rely on poor garbage-collection behavior within Ruby. Specifically, use of JSON parsing methods can lead     to creation of a malicious object within the interpreter, with adverse effects that are application-     dependent. (CVE-2020-10663)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.
