The version of Mozilla Firefox installed on the remote Windows     host is prior to 60. It is, therefore, affected by multiple critical     and high severity vulnerabilities.

The remote Ubuntu 14.04 LTS / 16.04 LTS / 18.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-3645-1 advisory.

    Multiple security issues were discovered in Firefox. If a user were tricked in to opening a specially     crafted website, an attacker could potentially exploit these to cause a denial of service via application     crash, bypass same-origin restrictions, conduct cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks, install lightweight     themes without user interaction, spoof the filename in the downloads panel, or execute arbitrary code.
    (CVE-2018-5150, CVE-2018-5151, CVE-2018-5153, CVE-2018-5154, CVE-2018-5155, CVE-2018-5157, CVE-2018-5158,     CVE-2018-5159, CVE-2018-5160, CVE-2018-5163, CVE-2018-5164, CVE-2018-5168, CVE-2018-5173, CVE-2018-5175,     CVE-2018-5177, CVE-2018-5180)

    Multiple security issues were discovered with WebExtensions. If a user were tricked in to installing a     specially crafted extension, an attacker could potentially exploit these to obtain sensitive information,     or bypass security restrictions. (CVE-2018-5152, CVE-2018-5166)

    It was discovered that the web console and JavaScript debugger incorrectly linkified chrome: and     javascript URLs. If a user were tricked in to clicking a specially crafted link, an attacker could     potentially exploit this to conduct cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks. (CVE-2018-5167)

    It was discovered that dragging and dropping link text on to the home button could set the home page to     include chrome pages. If a user were tricked in to dragging and dropping a specially crafted link on to     the home button, an attacker could potentially exploit this bypass security restrictions. (CVE-2018-5169)

    It was discovered that the Live Bookmarks page and PDF viewer would run script pasted from the clipboard.
    If a user were tricked in to copying and pasting specially crafted text, an attacker could potentially     exploit this to conduct cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks. (CVE-2018-5172)

    It was discovered that the JSON viewer incorrectly linkified javascript: URLs. If a user were tricked in     to clicking on a specially crafted link, an attacker could potentially exploit this to obtain sensitive     information. (CVE-2018-5176)

    It was discovered that dragging a file: URL on to a tab that is running in a different process would cause     the file to open in that process. If a user were tricked in to dragging a file: URL, an attacker could     potentially exploit this to bypass intended security policies. (CVE-2018-5181)

    It was discovered that dragging text that is a file: URL on to the addressbar would open the specified     file. If a user were tricked in to dragging specially crafted text on to the addressbar, an attacker could     potentially exploit this to bypass intended security policies. (CVE-2018-5182)

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.
