Can I get more info on why these are showing up? I’ve never seen such a thing on F-Droid before.

Are these two from the same maintainer? If not, considering that they both use Firefox Android as their base, does this mean there is a vulnerability in Firefox Android?

There was and it was fixed by the looks of it. Guessing these apps have not urgently pulled the fixes in and released an update, so F-droid is urging people not to use the apps until so

Yes, there was a remote code execution vulnerability in the CSS engine of firefox a little while ago. If you’re on desktop version 131 or lower, update to 131.0.3 when possible. I don’t know how the versioning works for the Android versions here…
