The version of Tomcat installed on the remote host is prior to 8.5.75. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the fixed_in_apache_tomcat_8.5.75_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 8.5.75. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as
referenced in the fixed_in_apache_tomcat_8.5.75_security-8 advisory.
- The fix for bug CVE-2020-9484 introduced a time of check, time of use vulnerability into Apache Tomcat
10.1.0-M1 to 10.1.0-M8, 10.0.0-M5 to 10.0.14, 9.0.35 to 9.0.56 and 8.5.55 to 8.5.73 that allowed a local
attacker to perform actions with the privileges of the user that the Tomcat process is using. This issue
is only exploitable when Tomcat is configured to persist sessions using the FileStore. (CVE-2022-23181)
Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
