The remote CentOS Linux 7 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2023:0296 advisory.

  - An out of date library (libusrsctp) contained vulnerabilities that could potentially be exploited. This     vulnerability affects Firefox < 108. (CVE-2022-46871)

  - By confusing the browser, the fullscreen notification could have been delayed or suppressed, resulting in     potential user confusion or spoofing attacks. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 108. (CVE-2022-46877)

  - Due to the Firefox GTK wrapper code's use of text/plain for drag data and GTK treating all text/plain     MIMEs containing file URLs as being dragged a website could arbitrarily read a file via a call to     <code>DataTransfer.setData</code>. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 109, Thunderbird < 102.7, and     Firefox ESR < 102.7. (CVE-2023-23598)

  - When copying a network request from the developer tools panel as a curl command the output was not being     properly sanitized and could allow arbitrary commands to be hidden within. This vulnerability affects     Firefox < 109, Thunderbird < 102.7, and Firefox ESR < 102.7. (CVE-2023-23599)

  - Navigations were being allowed when dragging a URL from a cross-origin iframe into the same tab which     could lead to website spoofing attacks. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 109, Thunderbird < 102.7, and     Firefox ESR < 102.7. (CVE-2023-23601)

  - A mishandled security check when creating a WebSocket in a WebWorker caused the Content Security Policy     connect-src header to be ignored. This could lead to connections to restricted origins from inside     WebWorkers. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 109, Thunderbird < 102.7, and Firefox ESR < 102.7.
    (CVE-2023-23602)

  - Regular expressions used to filter out forbidden properties and values from style directives in calls to     <code>console.log</code> weren't accounting for external URLs. Data could then be potentially exfiltrated     from the browser. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 109, Thunderbird < 102.7, and Firefox ESR < 102.7.
    (CVE-2023-23603)

  - Memory safety bugs present in Firefox 108 and Firefox ESR 102.6. 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. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 109, Thunderbird < 102.7, and Firefox ESR < 102.7.
    (CVE-2023-23605)

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