The version of Tomcat installed on the remote host is prior to 8.0.17. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the fixed_in_apache_tomcat_8.0.17_security-8 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 Tomcat installed on the remote host is prior to 8.0.17. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as
referenced in the fixed_in_apache_tomcat_8.0.17_security-8 advisory.
- The Expression Language (EL) implementation in Apache Tomcat 6.x before 6.0.44, 7.x before 7.0.58, and 8.x
before 8.0.16 does not properly consider the possibility of an accessible interface implemented by an
inaccessible class, which allows attackers to bypass a SecurityManager protection mechanism via a web
application that leverages use of incorrect privileges during EL evaluation. (CVE-2014-7810)
Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
