The version of tomcat installed on the remote host is prior to 8.5.75-1. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the ALAS2TOMCAT8.5-2023-004 advisory.
Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.

as referenced in the ALAS2TOMCAT8.5-2023-004 advisory.
- The fix for bug CVE-2020-9484 introduced a time of check, time of use vulnerability into Apache Tomcat
10.1.0-M1 to 10.1.0-M8, 10.0.0-M5 to 10.0.14, 9.0.35 to 9.0.56 and 8.5.55 to 8.5.73 that allowed a local
attacker to perform actions with the privileges of the user that the Tomcat process is using. This issue
is only exploitable when Tomcat is configured to persist sessions using the FileStore. (CVE-2022-23181)
