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 · unedited
The web server component of TIBCO Software Inc.'s TIBCO Spotfire Analytics Platform for AWS Marketplace, and TIBCO Spotfire Server contains vulnerabilities that theoretically allow reflected cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks. Affected releases are TIBCO Software Inc.'s TIBCO Spotfire Analytics Platform for AWS Marketplace: 7.14.0; 7.14.1; 10.0.0; 10.0.1; 10.1.0; 10.2.0, and TIBCO Spotfire Server: 7.14.0; 10.0.0; 10.0.1; 10.1.0; 10.2.0.

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 confidence

Reflected XSS vulnerability in the web server component of TIBCO Spotfire Analytics Platform and TIBCO Spotfire Server. User-supplied input is returned in server responses without proper sanitization, allowing execution of malicious scripts in user browsers.

MitigationApply vendor-supplied patches for affected versions (7.14.0-7.14.1, 10.0.0-10.2.0). Implement input validation and output encoding as defense-in-depth measures.

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 the TIBCO Spotfire Server version
    Access the server administration interface or check the installation directory for version information. On the server, look for version metadata in the installation folder or check the 'About' page of the Spotfire web client.
    Affected if The installed version matches 7.14.0, 7.14.1, 10.0.0, 10.1.0, or 10.2.0 for Spotfire Server, or matches the same versions for Spotfire Analytics Platform for AWS.
  2. Confirm the web server component is enabled
    Verify that the Spotfire web server (TIBCO Spotfire Server web tier) is running and accessible. Check if HTTP/HTTPS ports for the web interface are listening and responding.
    Affected if The web server component is active and exposed on network-accessible ports.
  3. Check for unauthenticated web endpoints
    Review the Spotfire web application for endpoints that accept user-supplied input and return it in server responses without encoding. Common areas include search parameters, navigation parameters, or form inputs.
    Affected if The web application reflects user-supplied input directly in HTML responses without sanitization.
  4. Compare installed version against affected ranges
    Document the exact version number from step 1 and cross-reference it against the affected versions: 7.14.0, 7.14.1, 10.0.0, 10.1.0, and 10.2.0.
    Affected if The installed version exactly matches one of the listed affected versions.

A user is affected if they are running TIBCO Spotfire Server or Spotfire Analytics Platform for AWS versions 7.14.0, 7.14.1, 10.0.0, 10.1.0, or 10.2.0 with the web server component accessible to users.
