The version of python36 installed on the remote host is prior to 3.6.12-1.21. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS-2021-1500 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 python36 installed on the remote host is prior to 3.6.12-1.21. It is, therefore, affected by multiple
vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS-2021-1500 advisory.
- The package python/cpython from 0 and before 3.6.13, from 3.7.0 and before 3.7.10, from 3.8.0 and before
3.8.8, from 3.9.0 and before 3.9.2 are vulnerable to Web Cache Poisoning via urllib.parse.parse_qsl and
urllib.parse.parse_qs by using a vector called parameter cloaking. When the attacker can separate query
parameters using a semicolon (;), they can cause a difference in the interpretation of the request between
the proxy (running with default configuration) and the server. This can result in malicious requests being
cached as completely safe ones, as the proxy would usually not see the semicolon as a separator, and
therefore would not include it in a cache key of an unkeyed parameter. (CVE-2021-23336)
