The remote Ubuntu 20.04 LTS / 22.04 LTS / 23.04 / 23.10 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-6468-1 advisory.

    Multiple security issues were discovered in Thunderbird. If a user were tricked into opening a specially     crafted website in a browsing context, an attacker could potentially exploit these to cause a denial of     service, obtain sensitive information, bypass security restrictions, cross-site tracing, or execute     arbitrary code. (CVE-2023-5724, CVE-2023-5728, CVE-2023-5730, CVE-2023-5732)

    Kelsey Gilbert discovered that Thunderbird did not properly manage certain browser prompts and dialogs due     to an insufficient activation-delay. An attacker could potentially exploit this issue to perform     clickjacking. (CVE-2023-5721)

    Shaheen Fazim discovered that Thunderbird did not properly validate the URLs open by installed     WebExtension. An attacker could potentially exploit this issue to obtain sensitive information.
    (CVE-2023-5725)

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.
