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.

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 · moderate confidence

Multiple unspecified vulnerabilities in TIBCO Spotfire products (Client, Web Player, Analytics Platform, Automation Services, Deployment Kit, Desktop, Professional) allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or obtain sensitive information via unknown vectors. The affected versions span multiple release branches (5.x, 6.x, 7.x) before specific patch levels.

MitigationUpgrade to the fixed versions (Analyst/Web Player 5.5.2+, 6.0.3+, 6.5.3+, 7.0.1+ or later) as indicated in the vendor advisory. Prioritize patching internet-facing Web Player and Automation Services deployments given the remote attack vector.

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 checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Identify installed TIBCO Spotfire product
    Locate the Spotfire installation directory or check Programs and Features (Windows) or installed packages (Linux). Common installation paths: C:\Program Files\TIBCO\spotfire\ or /opt/tibco/spotfire/
    Affected if The product name matches one of: Deployment Kit, Professional, Web Player, Desktop, Automation Services, Analyst, or Silver Fabric Enabler For Spotfire Webplayer
  2. Determine the product version number
    Check the version file in the installation directory, or run 'spotfire --version' if available, or right-click the executable and view Properties > Details for the File Version
    Affected if Version number is readable and falls within 5.x, 6.x, or 7.x release branches
  3. Compare installed version against affected version list
    Match your installed product and version against the affected list: Deployment Kit <= 5.5.1 or = 6.0.0-7.0.0; Professional <= 5.5.1 or = 6.0.0-7.0.0; Web Player <= 5.5.1 or = 6.0.0-7.0.0; Desktop <= 6.5.1 or = 7.0.0; Automation Services <= 5.5.1 or = 6.0.0-7.0.0; Analyst <= 5.5.1 or = 6.0.0-7.0.0; Silver Fabric Enabler = 2.1.0
    Affected if Your exact product version appears in the affected versions list for that product
  4. Verify if the deployment is internet-facing
    Check network configuration for Web Player or Automation Services - review firewall rules, reverse proxy settings, or load balancer configuration that exposes these services to external networks
    Affected if Web Player or Automation Services is accessible from untrusted networks (internet or external LAN)

You are affected if any TIBCO Spotfire product from the list is installed and the version matches an affected version, especially if Web Player or Automation Services is internet-facing.
