The version of Tomcat installed on the remote host is prior to 9.0.72. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the fixed_in_apache_tomcat_9.0.72_security-9 advisory.

  • When using the RemoteIpFilter with requests received from a reverse proxy via HTTP that include the X-Forwarded-Proto header set to https, session cookies created by Apache Tomcat 11.0.0-M1 to 11.0.0.-M2, 10.1.0-M1 to 10.1.5, 9.0.0-M1 to 9.0.71 and 8.5.0 to 8.5.85 did not include the secure attribute. This could result in the user agent transmitting the session cookie over an insecure channel. (CVE-2023-28708)

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