The remote Debian 9 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the dla-3062 advisory.

  • uBlock Origin before 1.36.2 and nMatrix before 4.4.9 support an arbitrary depth of parameter nesting for strict blocking, which allows crafted web sites to cause a denial of service (unbounded recursion that can trigger memory consumption and a loss of all blocking functionality). (CVE-2021-36773)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.
