The version of PHP installed on the remote host is prior to 8.0.13. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the Version 8.0.13 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 PHP installed on the remote host is prior to 8.0.13. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as
referenced in the Version 8.0.13 advisory.
- In PHP versions 7.3.x below 7.3.33, 7.4.x below 7.4.26 and 8.0.x below 8.0.13, certain XML parsing
functions, like simplexml_load_file(), URL-decode the filename passed to them. If that filename contains
URL-encoded NUL character, this may cause the function to interpret this as the end of the filename, thus
interpreting the filename differently from what the user intended, which may lead it to reading a
different file than intended. (CVE-2021-21707)
