The version of Firefox installed on the remote Windows host is prior to 105.0. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the mfsa2022-40 advisory.

  - Mozilla developers Nika Layzell, Timothy Nikkel, Sebastian Hengst, Andreas Pehrson, and the Mozilla     Fuzzing Team reported memory safety bugs present in Firefox 104 and Firefox ESR 102.2. 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-2022-40962)

  - An out-of-bounds read can occur when decoding H264 video. This results in a potentially exploitable crash.
    (CVE-2022-3266)

  - During iframe navigation, certain pages did not have their FeaturePolicy fully initialized leading to a     bypass that leaked device permissions into untrusted subdocuments. (CVE-2022-40959)

  - Concurrent use of the URL parser with non-UTF-8 data was not thread-safe. This could lead to a use-after-     free causing a potentially exploitable crash. (CVE-2022-40960)

  - A missing check related to tex units could have led to a use-after-free and potentially exploitable     crash.<br />Note: This advisory was added on December 13th, 2022 after we better understood the impact of     the issue. The fix was included in the original release of Firefox 105. (CVE-2022-46880)

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

  - When injecting an HTML base element, some requests would ignore the CSP's base-uri settings and accept the     injected element's base instead. This vulnerability affects Firefox ESR < 102.3, Thunderbird < 102.3, and     Firefox < 105. (CVE-2022-40956)

  - Inconsistent data in instruction and data cache when creating wasm code could lead to a potentially     exploitable crash.<br>*This bug only affects Firefox on ARM64 platforms.*. This vulnerability affects     Firefox ESR < 102.3, Thunderbird < 102.3, and Firefox < 105. (CVE-2022-40957)

  - By injecting a cookie with certain special characters, an attacker on a shared subdomain which is not a     secure context could set and thus overwrite cookies from a secure context, leading to session fixation and     other attacks. This vulnerability affects Firefox ESR < 102.3, Thunderbird < 102.3, and Firefox < 105.
