It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2022-2022-065 advisory.

    A vulnerability was found in curl. This security flaw allows reusing OAUTH2-authenticated connections     without properly ensuring that the connection was authenticated with the same credentials set for this     transfer. This issue leads to an authentication bypass, either by mistake or by a malicious actor.
    (CVE-2022-22576)

    A vulnerability was found in curl. This security flaw allows leaking credentials to other servers when it     follows redirects from auth-protected HTTP(S) URLs to other protocols and port numbers. (CVE-2022-27774)

    A vulnerability was found in curl. This security flaw occurs due to errors in the logic where the config     matching function did not take the IPv6 address zone id into account. This issue can lead to curl reusing     the wrong connection when one transfer uses a zone id, and the subsequent transfer uses another.
    (CVE-2022-27775)

    A vulnerability was found in curl. This security flaw allows leak authentication or cookie header data on     HTTP redirects to the same host but another port number. Sending the same set of headers to a server on a     different port number is a problem for applications that pass on custom `Authorization:` or     `Cookie:`headers. Those headers often contain privacy-sensitive information or data. (CVE-2022-27776)

    A vulnerability was found in curl. The issue occurs because curl wrongly allows HTTP cookies to be set for     Top Level Domains (TLDs) if the hostname is provided with a trailing dot. This flaw allows arbitrary sites     to set cookies that get sent to a different and unrelated site or domain by a malicious actor.
    (CVE-2022-27779)

    A vulnerability was found in curl. This issue occurs because the curl URL parser wrongly accepts percent-     encoded URL separators like / when decoding the hostname part of a URL, making it a different URL using     the wrong hostname when it is later retrieved. This flaw allows a malicious actor to make circumventing     filters. (CVE-2022-27780)

    A vulnerability was found in curl. This issue occurs because curl can reuse a previously created     connection even when a TLS or SSH-related option is changed that should have prohibited reuse. This flaw     leads to an authentication bypass, either by mistake or by a malicious actor. (CVE-2022-27782)

    A vulnerability was found in curl. This issue occurs because when using its HTTP Strict Transport     Security(HSTS) support, it can instruct curl to use HTTPS directly instead of using an insecure clear text     HTTP step even when HTTP is provided in the URL. This flaw leads to a clear text transmission of sensitive     information. (CVE-2022-30115)

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