The version of vim installed on the remote host is prior to 9.0.0270. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the SSA:2022-237-01 advisory.

  • NULL Pointer Dereference in GitHub repository vim/vim prior to 9.0.0240. (CVE-2022-2923)

  • Use After Free in GitHub repository vim/vim prior to 9.0.0246. (CVE-2022-2946)

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