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.
-
Verify TIBCO Spotfire Statistics Services is installedLook for TIBCO Spotfire Statistics Services installation directory, typically under C:\Tibco\ or similar TIBCO installation paths. Check Windows Programs and Features for 'TIBCO Spotfire Statistics Services' entry.Affected if The product is installed on the system.
-
Determine installed versionLocate version information in the Statistics Services installation directory, commonly found in a version file, manifest, or About dialog within the application. Check the bin or config subdirectory for version metadata.Affected if The installed version is 7.11.0 or any earlier version.
-
Confirm the Statistics Services web server component is runningOpen Windows Task Manager or use command 'sc query' to check for the TIBCO Spotfire Statistics Services Windows service. Also check for processes named 'tibcospotfirestatisticsservices' or similar in Task Manager.Affected if The Statistics Services web server process or service is actively running.
-
Identify network exposure of the web serverUse 'netstat -an' or Windows Firewall advanced security to identify listening ports associated with Statistics Services, typically on ports 80, 443, or custom ports. Check if the service is bound to all interfaces (0.0.0.0) versus localhost only.Affected if The Statistics Services web server is listening on network-accessible ports and is not restricted to localhost only.
A system is affected if TIBCO Spotfire Statistics Services version 7.11.0 or earlier is installed and the web server component is running and network-accessible.
