CVE-2018-5435: TIBCO Spotfire Product Family Remote Code Execution Vulnerability

The TIBCO Spotfire Client and TIBCO Spotfire Web Player Client components of TIBCO Software Inc.'s TIBCO Spotfire Analyst, TIBCO Spotfire Analytics Platform for AWS Marketplace, TIBCO Spotfire Deployment Kit, TIBCO Spotfire Desktop, and TIBCO Spotfire Desktop Language Packs contain multiple vulnerabilities that may allow for remote code execution. Affected releases are TIBCO Software Inc.'s TIBCO Spotfire Analyst: versions up to and including 7.8.0; 7.9.0; 7.9.1; 7.10.0; 7.10.1; 7.11.0; 7.12.0, TIBCO Spotfire Analytics Platform for AWS Marketplace: versions up to and including 7.12.0, TIBCO Spotfire Deployment Kit: versions up to and including 7.8.0; 7.9.0;7.9.1;7.10.0;7.10.1;7.11.0; 7.12.0, TIBCO Spotfire Desktop: versions up to and including 7.8.0; 7.9.0; 7.9.1; 7.10.0; 7.10.1; 7.11.0;7.12.0, TIBCO Spotfire Desktop Language Packs: versions up to and including 7.8.0; 7.9.0; 7.9.1; 7.10.0; 7.10.1; 7.11.0.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This is a critical remote code execution issue in TIBCO Spotfire client components. A successful attack could let an attacker run code through affected Spotfire Analyst, Desktop, Deployment Kit, AWS Marketplace platform, or language pack deployments. The main business concern is compromise of users or environments that still rely on vulnerable Spotfire releases. Exposure is most likely where affected Spotfire versions remain installed: Analyst, Deployment Kit, Desktop through 7.12.0, AWS Marketplace platform through 7.12.0, or Desktop Language Packs through 7.11.0. Treat this as a high-priority remediation item for any organization still running legacy TIBCO Spotfire versions. It is critical severity and could affect confidentiality, integrity, and availability, but supplied evidence does not confirm active exploitation. Mitigation focus: Inventory all TIBCO Spotfire client and Web Player Client deployments.; Compare installed versions against the affected release ranges in the advisory.; Review TIBCO’s advisory for fixed versions or vendor-supported remediation..
