Activity Stream can display content from sent from the Snippet Service website. This content is written to innerHTML on the Activity Stream page without sanitization, allowing for a potential access to other information available to the Activity Stream, such as browsing history, if the Snipper Service were compromised. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 68.

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-201908-12 (Mozilla Firefox: Multiple vulnerabilities)

    Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in Mozilla Firefox. Please       review the CVE identifiers referenced below for details.
  Impact :

    A remote attacker could entice a user to view a specially crafted web       page, possibly resulting in the execution of arbitrary code with the       privileges of the process or a Denial of Service condition.
  Workaround :

    There is no known workaround at this time.

The remote Ubuntu 16.04 LTS / 18.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-4054-1 advisory.

    A sandbox escape was discovered in Firefox. If a user were tricked in to installing a malicious language     pack, an attacker could exploit this to gain additional privileges. (CVE-2019-9811)

    Multiple security issues were discovered in Firefox. If a user were tricked in to opening a specially     crafted website, an attacker could potentially exploit these to cause a denial of service, obtain     sensitive information, bypass same origin restrictions, conduct cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks,     conduct cross-site request forgery (CSRF) attacks, spoof origin attributes, spoof the addressbar contents,     bypass safebrowsing protections, or execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2019-11709, CVE-2019-11710,     CVE-2019-11711, CVE-2019-11712, CVE-2019-11713, CVE-2019-11714, CVE-2019-11715, CVE-2019-11716,     CVE-2019-11717, CVE-2019-11718, CVE-2019-11719, CVE-2019-11720, CVE-2019-11721, CVE-2019-11723,     CVE-2019-11724, CVE-2019-11725, CVE-2019-11727, CVE-2019-11728, CVE-2019-11729)

    It was discovered that Firefox treats all files in a directory as same origin. If a user were tricked in     to downloading a specially crafted HTML file, an attacker could potentially exploit this to obtain     sensitive information from local files. (CVE-2019-11730)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory.

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

The version of Firefox installed on the remote Windows host is prior to 68.0. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the mfsa2019-21 advisory.

  - Until explicitly accessed by script, <code>window.globalThis</code> is not enumerable and, as a result, is     not visible to code such as <code>Object.getOwnPropertyNames(window)</code>. Sites that deploy a     sandboxing that depends on enumerating and freezing access to the window object may miss this, allowing     their sandboxes to be bypassed. (CVE-2019-11716)

  - Necko can access a child on the wrong thread during UDP connections, resulting in a potentially     exploitable crash in some instances. (CVE-2019-11714)

  - As part of his winning Pwn2Own entry, Niklas Baumstark demonstrated a sandbox escape by installing a     malicious language pack and then opening a browser feature that used the compromised translation.
    (CVE-2019-9811)

  - When an inner window is reused, it does not consider the use of <code>document.domain</code> for cross-     origin protections. If pages on different subdomains ever cooperatively use <code>document.domain</code>,     then either page can abuse this to inject script into arbitrary pages on the other subdomain, even those     that did not use <code>document.domain</code> to relax their origin security. (CVE-2019-11711)

  - POST requests made by NPAPI plugins, such as Flash, that receive a status 308 redirect response can bypass     CORS requirements. This can allow an attacker to perform Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) attacks.
    (CVE-2019-11712)

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

The version of Firefox installed on the remote macOS or Mac OS X host is prior to 68.0. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the mfsa2019-21 advisory.
