The version of PHP installed on the remote host is prior to 8.2.20. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the Version 8.2.20 advisory.

  - In PHP versions 8.1.* before 8.1.29, 8.2.* before 8.2.20, 8.3.* before 8.3.8, when using Apache and PHP-     CGI on Windows, if the system is set up to use certain code pages, Windows may use Best-Fit behavior to     replace characters in command line given to Win32 API functions. PHP CGI module may misinterpret those     characters as PHP options, which may allow a malicious user to pass options to PHP binary being run, and     thus reveal the source code of scripts, run arbitrary PHP code on the server, etc. (CVE-2024-4577)

  - In PHP versions 8.1.* before 8.1.29, 8.2.* before 8.2.20, 8.3.* before 8.3.8, due to a code logic error,     filtering functions such as filter_var when validating URLs (FILTER_VALIDATE_URL) for certain types of     URLs the function will result in invalid user information (username + password part of URLs) being treated     as valid user information. This may lead to the downstream code accepting invalid URLs as valid and     parsing them incorrectly. (CVE-2024-5458)

  - In PHP versions 8.1.* before 8.1.29, 8.2.* before 8.2.20, 8.3.* before 8.3.8, the fix for CVE-2024-1874     does not work if the command name includes trailing spaces. Original issue: when using proc_open() command     with array syntax, due to insufficient escaping, if the arguments of the executed command are controlled     by a malicious user, the user can supply arguments that would execute arbitrary commands in Windows shell.
    (CVE-2024-5585)

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