This vulnerability affects Firefox < 143 and Thunderbird < 143.

The version of FreeBSD installed on the remote host is prior to tested version. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the a240c31b-a394-11f0-9617-b42e991fc52e advisory.

    security@mozilla.org reports:
    The vulnerability has been rated as having moderate               impact, affecting both confidentiality and integrity               with low severity, while having no impact on               availability. For Thunderbird specifically, the               vulnerability cannot be exploited through email as               scripting is disabled when reading mail, but remains a               potential risk in browser or browser-like contexts

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