"The version of Thunderbird installed on the remote macOS or Mac OS X host is prior to 68.12. It is, therefore, affected
by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the mfsa2020-40 advisory.

  - When aborting an operation, such as a fetch, an abort signal may be deleted while alerting the objects to
    be notified. This results in a use-after-free and we presume that with enough effort it could have been
    exploited to run arbitrary code. (CVE-2020-15669)

  - If Thunderbird is installed to a user-writable directory, the Mozilla Maintenance Service would execute
    updater.exe from the install location with system privileges. Although the Mozilla Maintenance Service
    does ensure that updater.exe is signed by Mozilla, the version could have been rolled back to a previous
    version which would have allowed exploitation of an older bug and arbitrary code execution with System
    Privileges. Note: This issue only affected Windows operating systems. Other operating systems are
    unaffected. (CVE-2020-15663)

  - By holding a reference to the <code>eval()</code> function from an about:blank window, a malicious webpage
    could have gained access to the InstallTrigger object which would allow them to prompt the user to install
    an extension. Combined with user confusion, this could result in an unintended or malicious extension
    being installed. (CVE-2020-15664)

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