The version of Tomcat installed on the remote host is prior to 8.5.12. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the fixed_in_apache_tomcat_8.5.12_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 8.5.12. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as
referenced in the fixed_in_apache_tomcat_8.5.12_security-8 advisory.
- While investigating bug 60718, it was noticed that some calls to application listeners in Apache Tomcat
9.0.0.M1 to 9.0.0.M17, 8.5.0 to 8.5.11, 8.0.0.RC1 to 8.0.41, and 7.0.0 to 7.0.75 did not use the
appropriate facade object. When running an untrusted application under a SecurityManager, it was therefore
possible for that untrusted application to retain a reference to the request or response object and
thereby access and/or modify information associated with another web application. (CVE-2017-5648)
Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
