The version of Tomcat installed on the remote host is prior to 9.0.29. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the fixed_in_apache_tomcat_9.0.29_security-9 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 9.0.29. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as
referenced in the fixed_in_apache_tomcat_9.0.29_security-9 advisory.
- When Apache Tomcat 9.0.0.M1 to 9.0.28, 8.5.0 to 8.5.47, 7.0.0 and 7.0.97 is configured with the JMX Remote
Lifecycle Listener, a local attacker without access to the Tomcat process or configuration files is able
to manipulate the RMI registry to perform a man-in-the-middle attack to capture user names and passwords
used to access the JMX interface. The attacker can then use these credentials to access the JMX interface
and gain complete control over the Tomcat instance. (CVE-2019-12418)
Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
