TIBCO Enterprise Runtime for R Server Exposes Remote Code Execution
The server component of TIBCO Software Inc.'s TIBCO Enterprise Runtime for R - Server Edition, and TIBCO Spotfire Analytics Platform for AWS Marketplace contains a vulnerability that theoretically allows an unauthenticated user to bypass access controls and remotely execute code using the operating system account hosting the affected component. This issue affects: TIBCO Enterprise Runtime for R - Server Edition versions 1.2.0 and below, and TIBCO Spotfire Analytics Platform for AWS Marketplace versions 10.4.0 and 10.5.0.
The impact of this vulnerability includes the theoretical possibility that an attacker could gain full control of the operating system account hosting the affected component. In addition to the information flowing through the system, the exposed information might include secrets necessary to issue trusted requests to other TIBCO Spotfire servers.
