The version of mozilla-firefox installed on the remote host is prior to 115.9.1esr. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the SSA:2024-083-01 advisory.

  • An attacker was able to inject an event handler into a privileged object that would allow arbitrary JavaScript execution in the parent process. Note: This vulnerability affects Desktop Firefox only, it does not affect mobile versions of Firefox. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 124.0.1 and Firefox ESR < 115.9.1. (CVE-2024-29944)

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