It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the ALAS2023-2024-496 advisory.

  • HAProxy before 2.8.2 accepts # as part of the URI component, which might allow remote attackers to obtain sensitive information or have unspecified other impact upon misinterpretation of a path_end rule, such as routing index.html#.png to a static server. (CVE-2023-45539)

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