TIBCO Security Advisory: September 14, 2021 - TIBCO WebFOCUS - 2021-35493

TIBCO WebFOCUS Cross Site Scripting vulnerabilities

Original release date: September 14, 2021

Source: TIBCO Software Inc.

  • TIBCO WebFOCUS Installer versions 8207.27.0 and below
  • TIBCO WebFOCUS Reporting Server versions 8207.27.0 and below

The following components are affected:

  • WebFOCUS Reporting Server

Description

The components listed above contain easily exploitable Stored and Reflected Cross Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities that allow a low privileged attacker to social engineer a legitimate user with network access to execute scripts targeting the affected system or the victim's local system. A successful attack using this vulnerability requires human interaction from a person other than the attacker.

Impact

In the worst case, if the victim is a privileged administrator, successful execution of these vulnerabilities can result in an attacker gaining full administrative access to the affected system or the victim's local system.

CVSS v3 Base Score: 9.0 (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:R/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H)
