The version of haproxy2 installed on the remote host is prior to 2.2.17-1. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the ALAS2HAPROXY2-2023-003 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 haproxy2 installed on the remote host is prior to 2.2.17-1. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability
as referenced in the ALAS2HAPROXY2-2023-003 advisory.
- HAProxy before 2.7.3 may allow a bypass of access control because HTTP/1 headers are inadvertently lost in
some situations, aka request smuggling. The HTTP header parsers in HAProxy may accept empty header field
names, which could be used to truncate the list of HTTP headers and thus make some headers disappear after
being parsed and processed for HTTP/1.0 and HTTP/1.1. For HTTP/2 and HTTP/3, the impact is limited because
the headers disappear before being parsed and processed, as if they had not been sent by the client. The
fixed versions are 2.7.3, 2.6.9, 2.5.12, 2.4.22, 2.2.29, and 2.0.31. (CVE-2023-25725)
