CVE-2007-4159
Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.
NVD · uneditedindex.html in the HTTP administration interface in certain daemons in TIBCO Rendezvous (RV) 7.5.2 allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive information, such as a user name and IP addresses, via a direct request.
Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.
dbcve analysis · high confidenceThe HTTP administration interface in TIBCO Rendezvous 7.5.2 exposes the index.html file to unauthenticated remote attackers, allowing disclosure of sensitive information including usernames and IP addresses.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.
dbcve checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Locate TIBCO Rendezvous installationSearch for the TIBCO Rendezvous installation directory on the system. On Windows, common paths are C:\tibco\rv\ or C:\Program Files\tibco\rv\. On Unix-like systems, check /opt/tibco/rv/ or /usr/local/tibco/rv/. Look for executable files such as tibrv.exe, rvd, or rv daemon files.Affected if TIBCO Rendezvous software is present on the system
-
Confirm installed version is 7.5.2Determine the exact version of the installed TIBCO Rendezvous. On Windows, right-click the tibrv.exe file and select Properties > Details to view the version number. On Unix systems, run the command 'rvd -version' or 'tibrv-version' from the installation bin directory, or examine a version file in the installation directory.Affected if The installed version is exactly 7.5.2
-
Check if HTTP administration interface is enabledExamine the TIBCO Rendezvous configuration files for HTTP administration settings. Look for files named rv.conf, tibrv.conf, or similar configuration files in the installation directory or conf subdirectory. Search for keywords such as 'http', 'admin', 'port', or '8080' to identify if an HTTP admin interface is configured and enabled.Affected if The HTTP administration interface is configured and enabled in the Rendezvous configuration
-
Verify unauthenticated access to index.htmlUsing a web browser or curl command, attempt to access the HTTP administration interface without providing any credentials. The default HTTP admin port is typically 7580. Try accessing http://localhost:7580/index.html or http://<hostname>:7580/index.html. If the page loads and displays sensitive information such as usernames or IP addresses without prompting for authentication, the system is vulnerable.Affected if The index.html file of the HTTP admin interface is accessible without requiring authentication
The system is affected if TIBCO Rendezvous version 7.5.2 is installed AND the HTTP administration interface is enabled AND the index.html file is accessible without authentication credentials.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
From vendor dataRestrict network access to or disable the HTTP administration interface if not required; otherwise, ensure strong authentication is enforced for the admin interface.
