The version of Splunk installed on the remote host is prior to tested version. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the SVD-2022-1106 advisory.

  - In Splunk Enterprise versions below 8.2.9, 8.1.12, and 9.0.2, an authenticated user can run risky commands     using a more privileged user's permissions to bypass SPL safeguards for risky commands in the Analytics     Workspace. The vulnerability requires the attacker to phish the victim by tricking them into initiating a     request within their browser. The attacker cannot exploit the vulnerability at will. (CVE-2022-43566)

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