CVE-2019-11204
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 · uneditedThe web interface component of TIBCO Software Inc.'s TIBCO Spotfire Statistics Services contains a vulnerability that might theoretically allow an authenticated user to access sensitive information needed by the Spotfire Statistics Services server. The sensitive information that might be affected includes database, JMX, LDAP, Windows service account, and user credentials. Affected releases are TIBCO Software Inc.'s TIBCO Spotfire Statistics Services: versions up to and including 7.11.1; 10.0.0.
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 confidenceTIBCO Spotfire Statistics Services web interface contains an information disclosure vulnerability allowing authenticated users to access sensitive credentials (database, JMX, LDAP, Windows service accounts, and user credentials) that should be restricted to the server itself. This is a privilege escalation/information disclosure issue where the authentication requirement lowers exploitability but the exposed credentials provide significant post-authentication impact.

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 Spotfire Statistics Services versionLocate the version information from the TIBCO Spotfire Statistics Services installation, typically found in the product's about page, version file, or admin console. Common locations include the server startup logs, the statistics services configuration directory, or the TIBCO Spotfire Server admin interface if integrated.Affected if The installed version is 7.11.1 or lower, or exactly 10.0.0
-
Determine if Statistics Services web interface is enabledCheck the Statistics Services configuration for web interface settings. This is typically managed through the TIBCO Spotfire Server configuration or the statistics services config file. Look for parameters that enable or disable the web-based admin interface.Affected if The web interface is enabled and accessible
-
Verify network accessibility of the Statistics Services web portalDetermine if the Statistics Services web interface is exposed to the network. Check firewall rules, load balancer configurations, and the bind address settings in the Statistics Services configuration. Identify whether the interface is bound to all interfaces (0.0.0.0) or only localhost.Affected if The web interface is reachable from untrusted network segments or non-admin workstations
-
Confirm presence of administrative credentials in the environmentReview whether database credentials, JMX credentials, LDAP service accounts, Windows service accounts, or other privileged user credentials are configured within the TIBCO Spotfire Statistics Services environment. These would be the sensitive credentials potentially exposed by the flaw.Affected if Privileged or service accounts are configured in the Statistics Services environment for database connections, LDAP integration, or JMX access
A user is affected if their installed TIBCO Spotfire Statistics Services version is 7.11.1 or lower, or exactly 10.0.0, the web interface is enabled, and privileged credentials are configured in the environment.

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 to a patched version of TIBCO Spotfire Statistics Services beyond 7.11.1 and 10.0.0. Until patched, restrict web interface access to only trusted authenticated administrators and monitor for unauthorized credential access.
