Synopsis

The remote host has a web browser installed that is vulnerable to multiple Remote Code Execution (RCE) attack vectors.

Description

The version of Mozilla Firefox installed on the remote Windows host is prior to 59.0.1. It is, therefore, affected by multiple code execution vulnerabilities.
