The version of Thunderbird installed on the remote Windows host is prior to 91.9.1. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the mfsa2022-19 advisory.
If an attacker was able to corrupt the methods of an Array object in JavaScript via prototype pollution, they could have achieved execution of attacker-controlled JavaScript code in a privileged context.
(CVE-2022-1802)
An attacker could have sent a message to the parent process where the contents were used to double-index into a JavaScript object, leading to prototype pollution and ultimately attacker-controlled JavaScript executing in the privileged parent process. (CVE-2022-1529)
Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.
