The version of tomcat8 installed on the remote host is prior to 8.5.93-1.94. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS-2023-1861 advisory.

  - Apache Commons FileUpload before 1.5 does not limit the number of request parts to be processed resulting     in the possibility of an attacker triggering a DoS with a malicious upload or series of uploads. Note     that, like all of the file upload limits, the new configuration option (FileUploadBase#setFileCountMax) is     not enabled by default and must be explicitly configured. (CVE-2023-24998)

  - URL Redirection to Untrusted Site ('Open Redirect') vulnerability in FORM authentication feature Apache     Tomcat.This issue affects Apache Tomcat: from 11.0.0-M1 through 11.0.0-M10, from 10.1.0-M1 through     10.0.12, from 9.0.0-M1 through 9.0.79 and from 8.5.0 through 8.5.92. The vulnerability is limited to the     ROOT (default) web application. (CVE-2023-41080)

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