"The version of firefox installed on the remote host is prior to 128.12.0-1. It is, therefore, affected by multiple
vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2FIREFOX-2025-040 advisory.

    A use-after-free in FontFaceSet resulted in a potentially exploitable crash. This vulnerability affects
    Firefox < 140, Firefox ESR < 115.25, and Firefox ESR < 128.12. (CVE-2025-6424)

    An attacker who enumerated resources from the WebCompat extension could have obtained a persistent UUID
    that identified the browser, and persisted between containers and normal/private browsing mode, but not
    profiles. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 140, Firefox ESR < 115.25, and Firefox ESR < 128.12.
    (CVE-2025-6425)

    Firefox could have incorrectly parsed a URL and rewritten it to the youtube.com domain when parsing the
    URL specified in an `embed` tag.  This could have bypassed website security checks that restricted which
    domains users were allowed to embed. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 140 and Firefox ESR < 128.12.
    (CVE-2025-6429)

    When a file download is specified via the Content-Disposition header, that directive would be ignored if
    the file was included via a <embed> or <object> tag, potentially making a website vulnerable to a cross-
    site scripting attack. (CVE-2025-6430)

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.");
