The version of Firefox installed on the remote Windows host is prior to 88.0.1. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the mfsa2021-20 advisory.

  • A malicious webpage could have forced a Firefox for Android user into executing attacker-controlled JavaScript in the context of another domain, resulting in a Universal Cross-Site Scripting vulnerability.Note: This issue only affected Firefox for Android. Other operating systems are unaffected. Further details are being temporarily withheld to allow users an opportunity to update.
    (CVE-2021-29953)

  • When Web Render components were destructed, a race condition could have caused undefined behavior, and we presume that with enough effort may have been exploitable to run arbitrary code. (CVE-2021-29952)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.
