The version of Thunderbird installed on the remote Windows host is prior to 102.13.1. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the mfsa2023-28 advisory.

  • Thunderbird allowed the Text Direction Override Unicode Character in filenames. An email attachment could be incorrectly shown as being a document file, while in fact it was an executable file. Newer versions of Thunderbird will strip the character and show the correct file extension. (CVE-2023-3417)

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