The remote Ubuntu 18.04 LTS / 20.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-5504-1 advisory.

    Multiple security issues were discovered in Firefox. If a user were tricked into opening a specially     crafted website, an attacker could potentially exploit these to cause a denial of service, spoof the     browser UI, bypass CSP restrictions, bypass sandboxed iframe restrictions, obtain sensitive information,     bypass the HTML sanitizer, or execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2022-2200, CVE-2022-34468, CVE-2022-34470,     CVE-2022-34473, CVE-2022-34474, CVE-2022-34475, CVE-2022-34476, CVE-2022-34477, CVE-2022-34479,     CVE-2022-34480, CVE-2022-34481, CVE-2022-34484, CVE-2022-34485)

    It was discovered that Firefox could be made to save an image with an executable extension in the filename     when dragging and dropping an image in some circumstances. If a user were tricked into dragging and     dropping a specially crafted image, an attacker could potentially exploit this to trick the user into     executing arbitrary code. (CVE-2022-34482, CVE-2022-34483)

    It was discovered that a compromised server could trick Firefox into an addon downgrade in some     circumstances. An attacker could potentially exploit this to trick the browser into downgrading an addon     to a prior version. (CVE-2022-34471)

    It was discovered that an unavailable PAC file caused OCSP requests to be blocked, resulting in incorrect     error pages being displayed. (CVE-2022-34472)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.
