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 cfsend, cfrecv, and CyberResp components of TIBCO Software Inc.'s TIBCO Managed File Transfer Platform Server for UNIX and TIBCO Managed File Transfer Platform Server for z/Linux contain a difficult to exploit Remote Code Execution (RCE) vulnerability that allows a low privileged attacker with network access to execute arbitrary code on the affected system. Affected releases are TIBCO Software Inc.'s TIBCO Managed File Transfer Platform Server for UNIX: versions 8.1.0 and below and TIBCO Managed File Transfer Platform Server for z/Linux: versions 8.1.0 and below.

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

RCE vulnerability in the cfsend, cfrecv, and CyberResp components of TIBCO Managed File Transfer Platform Server for UNIX and z/Linux versions 8.1.0 and below. Allows a low privileged attacker with network access to execute arbitrary code on affected systems, though exploitation is described as difficult to exploit.

MitigationApply vendor patch/upgrade to a version above 8.1.0 for TIBCO Managed File Transfer Platform Server. Until patched, restrict network access to MFT components and monitor for suspicious activity.

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 Managed File Transfer Platform Server installation
    Locate TIBCO MFT installation directories or check system for MFT-related processes and services. Common locations include /opt/tibco or installation directories documented in TIBCO deployment guides.
    Affected if TIBCO Managed File Transfer Platform Server is installed on UNIX or z/Linux systems.
  2. Determine installed version of TIBCO MFT Platform Server
    Check the version of the installed TIBCO MFT Platform Server. Use TIBCO command-line utilities if available, or check version files in the installation directory.
    Affected if The installed version is 8.1.0 or below (versions prior to 8.1.1).
  3. Verify affected components are present
    Inspect the TIBCO MFT installation for the cfsend, cfrecv, and CyberResp components. Check component directories or configuration files that define enabled MFT components.
    Affected if The cfsend, cfrecv, or CyberResp components are installed and enabled on the system.
  4. Assess network exposure of MFT components
    Review network configurations, firewall rules, and access controls surrounding the TIBCO MFT installation. Determine if cfsend, cfrecv, and CyberResp components are accessible over the network.
    Affected if The affected components are network-accessible without proper restriction.

The environment is affected if TIBCO Managed File Transfer Platform Server for UNIX or z/Linux is installed at version 8.1.0 or below with cfsend, cfrecv, or CyberResp components enabled and network-accessible.
