The remote Fedora 41 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the FEDORA-2025-60c0e24d76 advisory.

    - Updated to latest upstream (136.0)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Fedora 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.

  - When String.toUpperCase() caused a string to get longer it was possible for uninitialized memory to be     incorporated into the result string. This vulnerability was fixed in Firefox 136 and Thunderbird 136.
    (CVE-2025-1942)

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

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)

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 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 remote Ubuntu 20.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-7334-1 advisory.

    Multiple security issues were discovered in Firefox. If a user were tricked into opening a specially     crafted website, an attacker could potentially exploit these to cause a denial of service, obtain     sensitive information across domains, or execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2025-1933, CVE-2025-1934,     CVE-2025-1935, CVE-2025-1936, CVE-2025-1937, CVE-2025-1942)

    It was discovered that Firefox did not properly handle WebTransport connection, leading to a use-after-     free vulnerability. An attacker could potentially exploit this issue to cause a denial of service.
    (CVE-2025-1931)

    Ivan Fratric discovered that Firefox did not properly handle XSLT sorting, leading to a out-of-bounds     access vulnerability. An attacker could potentially exploit this issue to cause a denial of service, or     execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2025-1932)
