The version of openssh installed on the remote host is prior to 7.4p1-22. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the ALAS2-2023-2376 advisory.

  - The SSH transport protocol with certain OpenSSH extensions, found in OpenSSH before 9.6 and other     products, allows remote attackers to bypass integrity checks such that some packets are omitted (from the     extension negotiation message), and a client and server may consequently end up with a connection for     which some security features have been downgraded or disabled, aka a Terrapin attack. This occurs because     the SSH Binary Packet Protocol (BPP), implemented by these extensions, mishandles the handshake phase and     mishandles use of sequence numbers. For example, there is an effective attack against SSH's use of     ChaCha20-Poly1305 (and CBC with Encrypt-then-MAC). The bypass occurs in chacha20-poly1305@openssh.com and     (if CBC is used) the -etm@openssh.com MAC algorithms. This also affects Maverick Synergy Java SSH API     before 3.1.0-SNAPSHOT, Dropbear through 2022.83, Ssh before 5.1.1 in Erlang/OTP, PuTTY before 0.80,     AsyncSSH before 2.14.2, golang.org/x/crypto before 0.17.0, libssh before 0.10.6, libssh2 through 1.11.0,     Thorn Tech SFTP Gateway before 3.4.6, Tera Term before 5.1, Paramiko before 3.4.0, jsch before 0.2.15,     SFTPGo before 2.5.6, Netgate pfSense Plus through 23.09.1, Netgate pfSense CE through 2.7.2, HPN-SSH     through 18.2.0, ProFTPD 1.3.9rc1, ORYX CycloneSSH before 2.3.4, NetSarang XShell 7 before Build 0144,     CrushFTP before 10.6.0, ConnectBot SSH library before 2.2.22, the mscdex ssh2 module before 1.15.0 for     Node.js, the thrussh library before 0.35.1 for Rust, and the Russh crate before 0.40.2 for Rust; and there     could be effects on Bitvise SSH through 9.31. (CVE-2023-48795)

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