The version of squid installed on the remote host is prior to 3.5.20-17. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the ALAS2-2023-2062 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 squid installed on the remote host is prior to 3.5.20-17. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability
as referenced in the ALAS2-2023-2062 advisory.
- An issue was discovered in Squid before 4.10. Due to incorrect input validation, the NTLM authentication
credentials parser in ext_lm_group_acl may write to memory outside the credentials buffer. On systems with
memory access protections, this can result in the helper process being terminated unexpectedly. This leads
to the Squid process also terminating and a denial of service for all clients using the proxy.
