The version of openssl installed on the remote host is prior to 1.0.2k-19. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the ALAS2-2021-1687 advisory.
Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.

"The version of openssl installed on the remote host is prior to 1.0.2k-19. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability
as referenced in the ALAS2-2021-1687 advisory.
- There is an overflow bug in the x64_64 Montgomery squaring procedure used in exponentiation with 512-bit
moduli. No EC algorithms are affected. Analysis suggests that attacks against 2-prime RSA1024, 3-prime
RSA1536, and DSA1024 as a result of this defect would be very difficult to perform and are not believed
likely. Attacks against DH512 are considered just feasible. However, for an attack the target would have
to re-use the DH512 private key, which is not recommended anyway. Also applications directly using the low
level API BN_mod_exp may be affected if they use BN_FLG_CONSTTIME. Fixed in OpenSSL 1.1.1e (Affected
1.1.1-1.1.1d). Fixed in OpenSSL 1.0.2u (Affected 1.0.2-1.0.2t). (CVE-2019-1551)
