Multiple TIBCO Spotfire components fail to sanitize user-supplied inout and are vulnerable to cross-site scripting
Multiple TIBCO Products are prone to multiple unspecified cross-site scripting vulnerabilities because it fails to properly sanitize user-supplied input. An attacker may leverage these issues to execute arbitrary script code in the browser of an unsuspecting user in the context of the affected site. This can allow the attacker to steal cookie-based authentication credentials and to launch other attacks. The products and versions that are affected include the following: TIBCO Silver Fabric Enabler for Spotfire Web Player 2.1.2 and earlier TIBCO Spotfire Analyst 7.5.0 TIBCO Spotfire Analyst 7.6.0 TIBCO Spotfire Analyst 7.7.0 TIBCO Spotfire Analytics Platform for AWS Marketplace 7.0.2 and earlier TIBCO Spotfire Automation Services 6.5.3 and earlier TIBCO Spotfire Automation Services 7.0.0, and 7.0.1 TIBCO Spotfire Connectors 7.6.0 TIBCO Spotfire Deployment Kit 6.5.3 and earlier TIBCO Spotfire Deployment Kit 7.0.0, and 7.0.1 TIBCO Spotfire Deployment Kit 7.5.0 TIBCO Spotfire Deployment Kit 7.6.0 TIBCO Spotfire Deployment Kit 7.7.0 TIBCO Spotfire Desktop 6.5.2 and earlier TIBCO Spotfire Desktop 7.0.0, and 7.0.1 TIBCO Spotfire Desktop 7.5.0 TIBCO Spotfire Desktop 7.6.0 TIBCO Spotfire Desktop 7.7.0 TIBCO Spotfire Desktop Developer Edition 7.7.0 TIBCO Spotfire Desktop Language Packs 7.0.1 and earlier TIBCO Spotfire Desktop Language Packs 7.5.0 TIBCO Spotfire Desktop Language Packs 7.6.0 TIBCO Spotfire Desktop Language Packs 7.7.0 TIBCO Spotfire Professional 6.5.3 and earlier TIBCO Spotfire Professional 7.0.0 and 7.0.1 TIBCO Spotfire Web Player 6.5.3 and earlier TIBCO Spotfire Web Player 7.0.0 and 7.0.1

Remediation
Which version to upgrade to
Fix versions compiled from the vendor, package registries and Microsoft. Verify the vendor's note before upgrading.
No fix version is recorded for this entry. Check the references for vendor advisories.
Exploit status
No known public exploit
No public exploit has been observed yet. That doesn't mean you're safe, only that the bar is a little higher.
Research context
For pentesters and researchers: attack profile, score disagreement, timeline, patch commits, credits, variant and chain candidates, bug bounty scope. All derived from existing data; no exploit code.
Timeline
From publication to today: proof of concept, Metasploit module, CISA KEV and fix record. Dates are as reported by the sources.
No dated events beyond publication.
FIRST EPSS daily score; only changes of 0.01 or more are recorded (step chart).
Patch and commit links
Commit, PR and diff links among the references. A starting point for patch-diffing and variant hunting; fixes, not exploits.
No commit or PR link among the references.
Credits
All researchersFinders, reporters and analysts named in the CNA record. Click a name for that researcher’s other records.
No credits in the CNA record.
Variant candidates
Same product, same weakness class, within 18 months. If the patch missed the root cause, the sibling bug is here.
No nightly-computed relations.
Chain candidates
An authentication bypass and a privilege-requiring bug in the same product, published close together: combined they may become an unauthenticated path.
