The version of Firefox installed on the remote Mac OS X host is prior to 39.0.3. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability in the same origin policy in which an attacker can inject script code into a non-privileged part of browser’s built-in PDF reader, resulting in gaining access to sensitive local files.
