The version of Thunderbird installed on the remote Windows host is prior to 115.8.1. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the mfsa2024-11 advisory.

  • The encrypted subject of an email message could be incorrectly and permanently assigned to an arbitrary other email message in Thunderbird’s local cache. Consequently, when replying to the contaminated email message, the user might accidentally leak the confidential subject to a third party. While this update fixes the bug and avoids future message contamination, it does not automatically repair existing contaminations. Users are advised to use the repair folder functionality, which is available from the context menu of email folders, which will erase incorrect subject assignments. (CVE-2024-1936)

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