"The version of firefox installed on the remote host is prior to 128.9.0-1. It is, therefore, affected by multiple
vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2FIREFOX-2025-037 advisory.

    An issue was discovered in libexpat before 2.6.4. There is a crash within the XML_ResumeParser function
    because XML_StopParser can stop/suspend an unstarted parser. (CVE-2024-50602)

    oc_huff_tree_unpack in huffdec.c in libtheora in Theora through 1.0 7180717 has an invalid negative left
    shift. (CVE-2024-56431)

    JavaScript code running while transforming a document with the XSLTProcessor could lead to a use-after-
    free. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 137, Firefox ESR < 115.22, Firefox ESR < 128.9, Thunderbird <
    137, and Thunderbird < 128.9. (CVE-2025-3028)

    A crafted URL containing specific Unicode characters could have hidden the true origin of the page,
    resulting in a potential spoofing attack. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 137, Firefox ESR < 128.9,
    Thunderbird < 137, and Thunderbird < 128.9. (CVE-2025-3029)

    Memory safety bugs present in Firefox 136, Thunderbird 136, Firefox ESR 128.8, and Thunderbird 128.8. 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 < 137, Firefox ESR <
    128.9, Thunderbird < 137, and Thunderbird < 128.9. (CVE-2025-3030)

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

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