The version of firefox installed on the remote host is prior to 115.12.0-1. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2FIREFOX-2024-026 advisory.

    RESERVEDNOTE: https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/security/advisories/mfsa2022-30/#CVE-2022-2205 (CVE-2022-2205)

    An attacker could have injected CSS into stylesheets accessible via internal URIs, such as resource:, and     in doing so bypass a page's Content Security Policy. This vulnerability affects Firefox ESR < 91.11,     Thunderbird < 102, Thunderbird < 91.11, and Firefox < 101. (CVE-2022-31744)

    A flaw was found in Mozilla. The Mozilla Foundation Security Advisory describes the issue of when opening     a Windows shortcut from the local filesystem, an attacker could supply a remote path that leads to     unexpected network requests from the operating system. (CVE-2022-36314)

    When visiting a website with an overly long URL, the user interface would start to hang. Due to session     restore, this could lead to a permanent Denial of Service.<br>*This bug only affects Firefox for Android.
    Other operating systems are unaffected.*. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 103. (CVE-2022-36317)

    RESERVEDNOTE: https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/security/advisories/mfsa2022-30/#CVE-2022-36320     (CVE-2022-36320)

    If a garbage collection was triggered at the right time, a use-after-free could have occurred during     object transplant. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 127 and Firefox ESR < 115.12. (CVE-2024-5688)

    By tricking the browser with a `X-Frame-Options` header, a sandboxed iframe could have presented a button     that, if clicked by a user, would bypass restrictions to open a new window. This vulnerability affects     Firefox < 127 and Firefox ESR < 115.12. (CVE-2024-5691)

    Offscreen Canvas did not properly track cross-origin tainting, which could be used to access image data     from another site in violation of same-origin policy. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 127, Firefox     ESR < 115.12, and Thunderbird < 115.12. (CVE-2024-5693)

    Memory safety bugs present in Firefox 126, Firefox ESR 115.11, and Thunderbird 115.11. 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 < 127 and Firefox ESR < 115.12.
    (CVE-2024-5700)

    Memory corruption in the networking stack could have led to a potentially exploitable crash. This     vulnerability affects Firefox < 125 and Firefox ESR < 115.12. (CVE-2024-5702)
