CVE-2019-17332
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 Digital Asset Manager Web Interface component of TIBCO Software Inc.'s TIBCO EBX Add-ons contains a vulnerability that theoretically allows authenticated users to perform stored cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks. Affected releases are TIBCO Software Inc.'s TIBCO EBX Add-ons: versions up to and including 3.20.13, versions 4.1.0, 4.2.0, 4.2.1, and 4.2.2.
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.

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 TIBCO EBX Add-ons installationLocate the TIBCO EBX Add-ons installation in your environment and identify the deployed version numberAffected if TIBCO EBX Add-ons is installed and the version falls within the affected ranges: any version <= 3.20.13, or versions 4.1.0, 4.2.0, 4.2.1, 4.2.2
-
Confirm Digital Asset Manager Web Interface is enabledCheck the TIBCO EBX configuration to determine if the Digital Asset Manager Web Interface component is enabled and accessibleAffected if The Digital Asset Manager Web Interface component is enabled and accessible to users
-
Review Digital Asset Manager content for injected scriptsInspect stored content within the Digital Asset Manager for any suspicious JavaScript code, script tags, or event handlers in fields that accept user-supplied dataAffected if Unexpected or malicious JavaScript code is found stored in Digital Asset Manager content fields
-
Check user activity logs for XSS injection attemptsReview authentication logs and Digital Asset Manager access logs for any patterns indicating injection attempts or unusual script-related activityAffected if Logs show injection attempts or unusual script execution patterns associated with the Digital Asset Manager interface
You are affected if TIBCO EBX Add-ons is installed with a version matching <= 3.20.13, 4.1.0, 4.2.0, 4.2.1, or 4.2.2 AND the Digital Asset Manager Web Interface component is enabled and accessible to authenticated users.
