NVD · unedited
An issue in TIM Solution GmbH TIM BPM Suite & TIM FLOW before v.9.1.2 allows a remote attacker to escalate privileges via a crafted HTTP request

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

This is a privilege escalation vulnerability in TIM Solution GmbH TIM BPM Suite and TIM FLOW affecting versions before v.9.1.2. A remote attacker can exploit the issue via a crafted HTTP request to gain elevated privileges beyond their assigned role or permissions.

MitigationUpgrade TIM BPM Suite and TIM FLOW to version 9.1.2 or later. If immediate upgrade is not possible, restrict network access to the application and monitor for suspicious HTTP requests targeting authentication or authorization endpoints.

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. Confirm TIM Flow installation
    Locate TIM Flow application files or check for running processes named 'timflow', 'tim-bpm', or associated services. Check common installation directories or use system inventory tools.
    Affected if TIM Flow software is found running or installed on the system
  2. Identify installed version
    Check the application version information typically found in: installation logs, about/help panel in the web interface, version file in the installation directory, or manifest/config files. Compare against the affected range.
    Affected if Installed version is lower than 9.1.2
  3. Verify web interface accessibility
    Check if the TIM Flow web application is exposed by testing HTTP/HTTPS access to the application's authentication endpoints. Review web server configuration files or reverse proxy settings.
    Affected if The web interface is accessible from network locations beyond trusted administration zones
  4. Review HTTP access logs
    Examine web server and application logs for unusual or crafted HTTP requests, particularly those targeting authentication or authorization endpoints, unusual parameter patterns, or requests attempting to bypass role checks.
    Affected if Suspicious HTTP requests are observed in logs, especially those involving privilege escalation patterns

A user is affected if TIM Flow version is below 9.1.2 and the web interface is network-accessible, allowing potential exploitation via crafted HTTP requests.

Upgrade available Upgrade to 9.1.2 or later
Fixed in 9.1.2
Interim mitigation

Upgrade TIM BPM Suite and TIM FLOW to version 9.1.2 or later. If immediate upgrade is not possible, restrict network access to the application and monitor for suspicious HTTP requests targeting authentication or authorization endpoints.

Recommended fix Moderate confidence

9.1.2

  1. Upgrade TIM Flow to version 9.1.2 or later to resolve the privilege escalation vulnerability.
  2. Verify the upgrade in the product admin interface to confirm the version number reflects the fix.
  3. Test that the HTTP endpoint previously vulnerable to privilege escalation now properly enforces authorization checks.
