The version of Thunderbird installed on the remote Windows host is prior to 128.7. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the mfsa2025-10 advisory.

  - Memory safety bugs present in Firefox 134, Thunderbird 134, Firefox ESR 115.19, Firefox ESR 128.6,     Thunderbird 115.19, and Thunderbird 128.6. 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.
    (CVE-2025-1016)

  - A double-free issue could have occurred in `secpkcs7decoderstartdecrypt()` when handling an error path.
    Under specific conditions, the same symmetric key could have been freed twice, potentially leading to     memory corruption. (CVE-2024-11704)

  - An attacker could have caused a use-after-free via crafted XSLT data, leading to a potentially exploitable     crash. (CVE-2025-1009)

  - An attacker could have caused a use-after-free via the Custom Highlight API, leading to a potentially     exploitable crash. (CVE-2025-1010)

  - A bug in WebAssembly code generation could have lead to a crash. It may have been possible for an attacker     to leverage this to achieve code execution. (CVE-2025-1011)

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