The remote CentOS Linux 7 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2022:0538 advisory.

  - If a user installed an extension of a particular type, the extension could have auto-updated itself and     while doing so, bypass the prompt which grants the new version the new requested permissions. This     vulnerability affects Firefox < 97, Thunderbird < 91.6, and Firefox ESR < 91.6. (CVE-2022-22754)

  - If a user was convinced to drag and drop an image to their desktop or other folder, the resulting object     could have been changed into an executable script which would have run arbitrary code after the user     clicked on it. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 97, Thunderbird < 91.6, and Firefox ESR < 91.6.
    (CVE-2022-22756)

  - If a document created a sandboxed iframe without <code>allow-scripts</code>, and subsequently appended an     element to the iframe's document that e.g. had a JavaScript event handler - the event handler would have     run despite the iframe's sandbox. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 97, Thunderbird < 91.6, and Firefox     ESR < 91.6. (CVE-2022-22759)

  - When importing resources using Web Workers, error messages would distinguish the difference between     <code>application/javascript</code> responses and non-script responses.

This vulnerability affects Firefox < 91. (CVE-2021-29990)

  - Out of bounds write in ANGLE in Google Chrome prior to 91.0.4472.101 allowed a remote attacker to     potentially perform out of bounds memory access via a crafted HTML page. (CVE-2021-30547)

  - Mixed-content checks were unable to analyze opaque origins which led to some mixed content being loaded.
    This vulnerability affects Firefox < 92. (CVE-2021-38491)

  - Mozilla developers reported memory safety bugs present in Firefox 91 and Firefox ESR 78.13. 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 affects Firefox ESR < 78.14, Thunderbird < 78.14,     and Firefox < 92. (CVE-2021-38493)

  - Mozilla developers reported memory safety bugs present in Thunderbird 78.13.0. 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 affects Thunderbird < 91.1 and Firefox ESR < 91.1.
    (CVE-2021-38495)

  - The iframe sandbox rules were not correctly applied to XSLT stylesheets, allowing an iframe to bypass     restrictions such as executing scripts or navigating the top-level frame. This vulnerability affects     Firefox < 94, Thunderbird < 91.3, and Firefox ESR < 91.3. (CVE-2021-38503)

  - When interacting with an HTML input element's file picker dialog with webkitdirectory set, a use-after-     free could have resulted, leading to memory corruption and a potentially exploitable crash.

  - Through a series of navigations, Firefox could have entered fullscreen mode without notification or     warning to the user. This could lead to spoofing attacks on the browser UI including phishing. This     vulnerability affects Firefox < 94, Thunderbird < 91.3, and Firefox ESR < 91.3. (CVE-2021-38506)

  - The Opportunistic Encryption feature of HTTP2 (RFC 8164) allows a connection to be transparently upgraded     to TLS while retaining the visual properties of an HTTP connection, including being same-origin with     unencrypted connections on port 80. However, if a second encrypted port on the same IP address (e.g. port     8443) did not opt-in to opportunistic encryption; a network attacker could forward a connection from the     browser to port 443 to port 8443, causing the browser to treat the content of port 8443 as same-origin     with HTTP. This was resolved by disabling the Opportunistic Encryption feature, which had low usage. This     vulnerability affects Firefox < 94, Thunderbird < 91.3, and Firefox ESR < 91.3. (CVE-2021-38507)

  - By displaying a form validity message in the correct location at the same time as a permission prompt     (such as for geolocation), the validity message could have obscured the prompt, resulting in the user     potentially being tricked into granting the permission. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 94,     Thunderbird < 91.3, and Firefox ESR < 91.3. (CVE-2021-38508)

  - Due to an unusual sequence of attacker-controlled events, a Javascript alert() dialog with arbitrary     (although unstyled) contents could be displayed over top an uncontrolled webpage of the attacker's     choosing.

  - By misusing a race in our notification code, an attacker could have forcefully hidden the notification for     pages that had received full screen and pointer lock access, which could have been used for spoofing     attacks. This vulnerability affects Thunderbird < 91.4.0, Firefox ESR < 91.4.0, and Firefox < 95.
    (CVE-2021-43538)

  - Failure to correctly record the location of live pointers across wasm instance calls resulted in a GC     occurring within the call not tracing those live pointers. This could have led to a use-after-free causing     a potentially exploitable crash. This vulnerability affects Thunderbird < 91.4.0, Firefox ESR < 91.4.0,     and Firefox < 95. (CVE-2021-43539)

  - WebExtensions with the correct permissions were able to create and install ServiceWorkers for third-party     websites that would not have been uninstalled with the extension. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 95.
    (CVE-2021-43540)

  - When invoking protocol handlers for external protocols, a supplied parameter URL containing spaces was not     properly escaped. This vulnerability affects Thunderbird < 91.4.0, Firefox ESR < 91.4.0, and Firefox < 95.
    (CVE-2021-43541)

  - Using XMLHttpRequest, an attacker could have identified installed applications by probing error messages     for loading external protocols. This vulnerability affects Thunderbird < 91.4.0, Firefox ESR < 91.4.0, and     Firefox < 95. (CVE-2021-43542)

  - Documents loaded with the CSP sandbox directive could have escaped the sandbox's script restriction by     embedding additional content. This vulnerability affects Thunderbird < 91.4.0, Firefox ESR < 91.4.0, and     Firefox < 95. (CVE-2021-43543)

  - Using the Location API in a loop could have caused severe application hangs and crashes. This     vulnerability affects Thunderbird < 91.4.0, Firefox ESR < 91.4.0, and Firefox < 95. (CVE-2021-43545)

  - It was possible to recreate previous cursor spoofing attacks against users with a zoomed native cursor.
    This vulnerability affects Thunderbird < 91.4.0, Firefox ESR < 91.4.0, and Firefox < 95. (CVE-2021-43546)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue 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.

  - Web-accessible extension pages (pages with a moz-extension:// scheme) were not correctly enforcing the     frame-ancestors directive when it was used in the Web Extension's Content Security Policy. This     vulnerability affects Firefox < 97, Thunderbird < 91.6, and Firefox ESR < 91.6. (CVE-2022-22761)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.

The remote Rocky Linux 8 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RLSA-2022:0535 advisory.

  - If a user installed an extension of a particular type, the extension could have auto-updated itself and     while doing so, bypass the prompt which grants the new version the new requested permissions. This     vulnerability affects Firefox < 97, Thunderbird < 91.6, and Firefox ESR < 91.6. (CVE-2022-22754)

  - If a user was convinced to drag and drop an image to their desktop or other folder, the resulting object     could have been changed into an executable script which would have run arbitrary code after the user     clicked on it. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 97, Thunderbird < 91.6, and Firefox ESR < 91.6.
    (CVE-2022-22756)

  - If a document created a sandboxed iframe without <code>allow-scripts</code>, and subsequently appended an     element to the iframe's document that e.g. had a JavaScript event handler - the event handler would have     run despite the iframe's sandbox. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 97, Thunderbird < 91.6, and Firefox     ESR < 91.6. (CVE-2022-22759)

  - When importing resources using Web Workers, error messages would distinguish the difference between     <code>application/javascript</code> responses and non-script responses. This could have been abused to     learn information cross-origin. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 97, Thunderbird < 91.6, and Firefox     ESR < 91.6. (CVE-2022-22760)

  - Web-accessible extension pages (pages with a moz-extension:// scheme) were not correctly enforcing the     frame-ancestors directive when it was used in the Web Extension's Content Security Policy. This     vulnerability affects Firefox < 97, Thunderbird < 91.6, and Firefox ESR < 91.6. (CVE-2022-22761)

  - When a worker is shutdown, it was possible to cause script to run late in the lifecycle, at a point after     where it should not be possible. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 96, Thunderbird < 91.6, and Firefox     ESR < 91.6. (CVE-2022-22763)

  - Mozilla developers Paul Adenot and the Mozilla Fuzzing Team reported memory safety bugs present in Firefox     96 and Firefox ESR 91.5. 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 affects     Firefox < 97, Thunderbird < 91.6, and Firefox ESR < 91.6. (CVE-2022-22764)
