Memory safety bugs present in Firefox 135 and Thunderbird 135. Some of these bugs showed evidence of memory corruption and we presume that with enough effort some of these could have been exploited to run arbitrary code. This vulnerability was fixed in Firefox 136 and Thunderbird 136.

The remote Ubuntu 22.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-7991-1 advisory.

    Multiple security issues were discovered in Thunderbird. If a user were tricked into opening a specially     crafted website in a browsing context, an attacker could potentially exploit these to cause a denial of     service, obtain sensitive information, bypass security restrictions, cross-site tracing, or execute     arbitrary code.

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

  - Memory safety bugs present in Firefox 135 and Thunderbird 135.

The version of Thunderbird installed on the remote Windows host is prior to 136.0. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the mfsa2025-17 advisory.

  - Memory safety bugs present in Firefox 135, Thunderbird 135, Firefox ESR 128.7, and Thunderbird 128.7. Some     of these bugs showed evidence of memory corruption and we presume that with enough effort some of these     could have been exploited to run arbitrary code. (CVE-2025-1938)

  - When String.toUpperCase() caused a string to get longer it was possible for uninitialized memory to be     incorporated into the result string (CVE-2025-1942)

  - Certain crafted MIME email messages that claimed to contain an encrypted OpenPGP message, which instead     contained an OpenPGP signed message, were wrongly shown as being encrypted. (CVE-2025-26696)

  - When requesting an OpenPGP key from a WKD server, an incorrect padding size was used and a network     observer could have learned the length of the requested email address. (CVE-2025-26695)

  - On Windows, a compromised content process could use bad StreamData sent over AudioIPC to trigger a use-     after-free in the Browser process. This could have led to a sandbox escape. (CVE-2025-1930)

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 136.0. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the mfsa2025-14 advisory.

  - Malicious pages could use Firefox for Android to pass FIDO: links to the OS and trigger the hybrid     passkey transport. An attacker within Bluetooth range could have used this to trick the user into using     their passkey to log the attacker's computer into the target account. (CVE-2024-9956)

  - On Windows, a compromised content process could use bad StreamData sent over AudioIPC to trigger a use-     after-free in the Browser process. This could have led to a sandbox escape. (CVE-2025-1930)

  - Android apps can load web pages using the Custom Tabs feature. This feature supports a transition     animation that could have been used to trick a user into granting sensitive permissions by hiding what the     user was actually clicking. (CVE-2025-1939)

  - It was possible to cause a use-after-free in the content process side of a WebTransport connection,     leading to a potentially exploitable crash. (CVE-2025-1931)

  - An inconsistent comparator in xslt/txNodeSorter could have resulted in potentially exploitable out-of-     bounds access. Only affected version 122 and later. (CVE-2025-1932)
