"The version of Firefox installed on the remote macOS or Mac OS X host is prior to 140.0. It is, therefore, affected by
multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the mfsa2025-51 advisory.

  - Memory safety bugs present in Firefox 139 and Thunderbird 139. 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-2025-6436)

  - If a user visited a webpage with an invalid TLS certificate, and granted an exception, the webpage was
    able to provide a WebAuthn challenge that the user would be prompted to complete.  This is in violation of
    the WebAuthN spec which requires a secure transport established without errors. (CVE-2025-6433)

  - A use-after-free in FontFaceSet resulted in a potentially exploitable crash. (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. (CVE-2025-6425)

  - The executable file warning did not warn users before opening files with the <code>terminal</code>
    extension.  This bug only affects Firefox for macOS. Other versions of Firefox are unaffected.
    (CVE-2025-6426)

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