According to its self-reported version, the Nessus Network Monitor running on the remote host is prior to 6.2.1. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the TNS-2023-19 advisory.

  - Nessus Network Monitor leverages third-party software to help provide underlying functionality. Several of     the third-party components (OpenSSL, expat) were found to contain vulnerabilities, and updated versions     have been made available by the providers.    Out of caution and in line with best practice, Tenable has     opted to upgrade these components to address the potential impact of the issues. Nessus Network Monitor     6.2.1 updates OpenSSL to version 3.0.8 and expat to version 2.5.0 to address the identified     vulnerabilities. Tenable has released Nessus Network Monitor 6.2.1 to address these issues. The     installation files can be obtained from the Tenable Downloads Portal     (https://www.tenable.com/downloads/nessus-network-monitor). (CVE-2021-45960, CVE-2021-46143,     CVE-2022-22822, CVE-2022-22823, CVE-2022-22824, CVE-2022-22825, CVE-2022-22826, CVE-2022-22827,     CVE-2022-23852, CVE-2022-23990, CVE-2022-25235, CVE-2022-25236, CVE-2022-25314, CVE-2022-25315,     CVE-2022-40674, CVE-2022-4203, CVE-2022-4304, CVE-2022-4450, CVE-2023-0215, CVE-2023-0216, CVE-2023-0217,     CVE-2023-0401)

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