The remote Debian 10 / 11 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the dsa-5137 advisory.

  • needrestart 0.8 through 3.5 before 3.6 is prone to local privilege escalation. Regexes to detect the Perl, Python, and Ruby interpreters are not anchored, allowing a local user to escalate privileges when needrestart tries to detect if interpreters are using old source files. (CVE-2022-30688)

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