The version of php installed on the remote host is prior to 5.4.16-46. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2-2023-2375 advisory.

    An issue was discovered in Oniguruma 6.2.0, as used in Oniguruma-mod in Ruby through 2.4.1 and mbstring in     PHP through 7.1.5. A heap out-of-bounds write occurs in bitset_set_range() during regular expression     compilation due to an uninitialized variable from an incorrect state transition. An incorrect state     transition in parse_char_class() could create an execution path that leaves a critical local variable     uninitialized until it's used as an index, resulting in an out-of-bounds write memory corruption.
    (CVE-2017-9228)

    An issue was discovered in Oniguruma 6.2.0, as used in Oniguruma-mod in Ruby through 2.4.1 and mbstring in     PHP through 7.1.5. A SIGSEGV occurs in left_adjust_char_head() during regular expression compilation.
    Invalid handling of reg->dmax in forward_search_range() could result in an invalid pointer dereference,     normally as an immediate denial-of-service condition. (CVE-2017-9229)

    A vulnerability was found in PHP due to an uninitialized array in pg_query_params() function. When using     the Postgres database extension, supplying invalid parameters to the parameterized query may lead to PHP     attempting to free memory, using uninitialized data as pointers. This flaw allows a remote attacker with     the ability to control query parameters to execute arbitrary code on the system or may cause a denial of     service. (CVE-2022-31625)

    In PHP 8.0.X before 8.0.28, 8.1.X before 8.1.16 and 8.2.X before 8.2.3, excessive number of parts in HTTP     form upload can cause high resource consumption and excessive number of log entries. This can cause denial     of service on the affected server by exhausting CPU resources or disk space. (CVE-2023-0662)

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