According to its self-reported version, the Nessus Network Monitor running on the remote host is prior to 6.3.1. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the TNS-2023-43 advisory.

  - Nessus Network Monitor leverages third-party software to help provide underlying functionality. Several of     the third-party components (HandlebarsJS, OpenSSL, and jquery-file-upload)were found to contain     vulnerabilities, and updated versions have been made available by the providers.Out of caution and in line     with best practice, Tenable has opted to upgrade these components to address the potential impact of the     issues. Nessus Network Monitor 6.3.1 updates HandlebarsJS to version 4.7.8, OpenSSL to version 3.0.12, and     jquery-file-upload to version 10.8.0. Tenable has released Nessus Network Monitor 6.3.1 to address these     issues. The installation files can be obtained from the Tenable Downloads Portal     (https://www.tenable.com/downloads/nessus-network-monitor). (CVE-2018-9206, CVE-2021-23369,     CVE-2021-23383, CVE-2023-5363)

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