The version of tomcat installed on the remote host is prior to 8.5.79-1. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2TOMCAT8.5-2023-005 advisory.

    A flaw was found in Spring Framework, specifically within two modules called Spring MVC and Spring     WebFlux, (transitively affected from Spring Beans), using parameter data binding. This flaw allows an     attacker to pass specially-constructed malicious requests to certain parameters and possibly gain access     to normally-restricted functionality within the Java Virtual Machine. (CVE-2022-22965)

    The documentation of Apache Tomcat 10.1.0-M1 to 10.1.0-M14, 10.0.0-M1 to 10.0.20, 9.0.13 to 9.0.62 and     8.5.38 to 8.5.78 for the EncryptInterceptor incorrectly stated it enabled Tomcat clustering to run over an     untrusted network. This was not correct. While the EncryptInterceptor does provide confidentiality and     integrity protection, it does not protect against all risks associated with running over any untrusted     network, particularly DoS risks. (CVE-2022-29885)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the tested product security advisory.

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