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

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 TIBCO Spotfire installation
    Locate TIBCO Spotfire Server or Analytics Platform installation on the system. Check common installation directories such as C:\Program Files\TIBCO\spotfire-server or /opt/tibco/spotfire-server. Look for the Spotfire Server installation folder.
    Affected if TIBCO Spotfire Server or Analytics Platform is not installed on the system.
  2. Determine the installed Spotfire version
    Access the Spotfire Server configuration or administration pages, or check version information in the installation directory. The version is typically displayed in the Spotfire Server web interface footer or in version configuration files.
    Affected if The installed version matches one of the affected versions: 7.10.1 or earlier; 7.11.0; 7.11.1; 7.12.0; 7.13.0; 7.14.0; 10.0.0.
  3. Confirm the web server component is enabled
    Verify that the Spotfire web server component is accessible and running. This is typically accessible via HTTP/HTTPS on ports 80, 443, or the configured Spotfire Server web port. Check if the Spotfire Server service is running and the web interface is reachable.
    Affected if The Spotfire web server component is exposed and accessible to users.
  4. Check for unauthenticated or user-accessible web endpoints
    Determine if the Spotfire web interface allows unauthenticated access or if user-supplied input can be submitted through web forms, URLs, or analysis files that get rendered in the browser.
    Affected if Users can submit content that gets stored or reflected in the Spotfire web interface without proper sanitization.

The environment is affected if TIBCO Spotfire Server or Analytics Platform is installed with an affected version (7.10.1 or earlier; 7.11.0; 7.11.1; 7.12.0; 7.13.0; 7.14.0; 10.0.0) and the web server component is accessible to users who can submit or view content.
