CVE-2014-2545
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 · uneditedTIBCO Managed File Transfer Internet Server before 7.2.2, Managed File Transfer Command Center before 7.2.2, Slingshot before 1.9.1, and Vault before 1.0.1 allow remote attackers to obtain sensitive information via a crafted HTTP 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 confidenceThis is an information disclosure vulnerability in TIBCO's MFT products where crafted HTTP requests allow remote attackers to obtain sensitive information. The vulnerability affects multiple TIBCO products including MFT Internet Server, MFT Command Center, Slingshot, and Vault in versions prior to their respective 7.2.2, 7.2.2, 1.9.1, and 1.0.1 releases.

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.
-
Identify installed TIBCO MFT productsCheck system for installed TIBCO Managed File Transfer components. Common installation paths include /opt/tibco or C:\Program Files\TIBCO. Look for directories named slingshot, vault, mftcc, or mftis. Alternatively, enumerate running services containing 'Tibco', 'MFT', 'Slingshot', or 'Vault' in the name.Affected if Any of the affected TIBCO MFT products (Slingshot, Vault, Command Center, or Internet Server) are installed on the system
-
Check TIBCO Slingshot versionLocate the Slingshot installation directory and look for a version file or manifest. On Linux/Unix, check /opt/tibco/slingshot/version.txt or similar. On Windows, check the installation folder properties or look for a version.info file. Alternatively, query the running Slingshot service if accessible via administrative console.Affected if Installed version is 1.9.0, 1.8.1, 1.8.0, 1.7.0, or any version <= 1.9.0 (fixed in 1.9.1)
-
Check TIBCO Vault versionLocate the Vault installation directory and find the version information, typically in a version.txt, version.info, or manifest file within the installation folder. Check paths like /opt/tibco/vault or C:\Program Files\TIBCO\Vault.Affected if Installed version is 1.0.0 or any version <= 1.0.0 (fixed in 1.0.1)
-
Check TIBCO MFT Command Center versionLocate the MFT Command Center (mftcc) installation and identify the version from version files, the admin console, or the product's startup logs. Check common paths like /opt/tibco/mftcc or C:\Program Files\TIBCO\MFT Command Center.Affected if Installed version is 7.2.1, 7.2.0, 7.1.0, 7.0.1, 7.0, 6.7, or any version <= 7.2.1 (fixed in 7.2.2)
-
Check TIBCO MFT Internet Server versionLocate the MFT Internet Server (mftis) installation and retrieve the version from version files, admin console, or startup logs. Check paths like /opt/tibco/mftis or C:\Program Files\TIBCO\MFT Internet Server.Affected if Installed version is 7.2.1, 7.2.0, 7.1.0, 7.0.1, 7.0, 6.7, or any version <= 7.2.1 (fixed in 7.2.2)
-
Verify HTTP service is exposedConfirm whether the TIBCO MFT HTTP interface is accessible from the network. Check firewall rules, reverse proxy configurations, or the product's network binding settings to determine if HTTP ports (typically 8080, 8443, or configured custom ports) are listening on external interfaces rather than localhost only.Affected if The MFT HTTP service is accessible over the network (not bound to localhost only) and the product version is within the affected ranges listed above
The environment is affected if any TIBCO MFT product (Slingshot <= 1.9.0, Vault <= 1.0.0, Command Center <= 7.2.1, or Internet Server <= 7.2.1) is running with its HTTP interface network-accessible.

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 dataUpgrade affected TIBCO products to versions 7.2.2 or later (for MFT Internet Server and Command Center), 1.9.1 or later (for Slingshot), and 1.0.1 or later (for Vault). If immediate patching is not possible, consider restricting HTTP access to these services via network-level controls.
