The version of Thunderbird installed on the remote Windows host is prior to 102.2. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the mfsa2022-36 advisory.
An attacker could have abused XSLT error handling to associate attacker-controlled content with another origin which was displayed in the address bar. This could have been used to fool the user into submitting data intended for the spoofed origin. (CVE-2022-38472)
A cross-origin iframe referencing an XSLT document would inherit the parent domain’s permissions (such as microphone or camera access). (CVE-2022-38473)
A data race could occur in the <code>PK11ChangePW</code> function, potentially leading to a use-after-free vulnerability. In Thunderbird, this lock protected the data when a user changed their master password.
(CVE-2022-38476)
Mozilla developer Nika Layzell and the Mozilla Fuzzing Team reported memory safety bugs present in Thunderbird 102.1. 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-2022-38477)
Members the Mozilla Fuzzing Team reported memory safety bugs present in Thunderbird 102.1 and Thunderbird 91.12. 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-2022-38478)
Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.
