Probably flare, which although it could be just an inherent lens defect is
often dust or contamination on the optics of the scanner indicating a need
for cleaning. If you don't keep the scanner under a dust cover when unused
it is common. Also sometimes lubricant can get onto the optics.

Since there is almost no dark shadow detail in this particular image, you
may be able to get rid of it simply by clipping the black point a little.
