CVE-2021-23275: TIBCO Spotfire Windows Platform Installation vulnerability

The Windows Installation component of TIBCO Software Inc.'s TIBCO Enterprise Runtime for R - Server Edition, TIBCO Enterprise Runtime for R - Server Edition, TIBCO Enterprise Runtime for R - Server Edition, TIBCO Spotfire Analytics Platform for AWS Marketplace, TIBCO Spotfire Server, TIBCO Spotfire Server, TIBCO Spotfire Server, TIBCO Spotfire Statistics Services, TIBCO Spotfire Statistics Services, and TIBCO Spotfire Statistics Services contains a vulnerability that theoretically allows a low privileged attacker with local access on some versions of the Windows operating system to insert malicious software. The affected component can be abused to execute the malicious software inserted by the attacker with the elevated privileges of the component. This vulnerability results from a lack of access restrictions on certain files and/or folders in the installation. Affected releases are TIBCO Software Inc.'s TIBCO Enterprise Runtime for R - Server Edition: versions 1.2.4 and below, TIBCO Enterprise Runtime for R - Server Edition: versions 1.3.0 and 1.3.1, TIBCO Enterprise Runtime for R - Server Edition: versions 1.4.0, 1.5.0, and 1.6.0, TIBCO Spotfire Analytics Platform for AWS Marketplace: versions 11.3.0 and below, TIBCO Spotfire Server: versions 10.3.12 and below, TIBCO Spotfire Server: versions 10.4.0, 10.5.0, 10.6.0, 10.6.1, 10.7.0, 10.8.0, 10.8.1, 10.9.0, 10.10.0, 10.10.1, 10.10.2, 10.10.3, and 10.10.4, TIBCO Spotfire Server: versions 11.0.0, 11.1.0, 11.2.0, and 11.3.0, TIBCO Spotfire Statistics Services: versions 10.3.0 and below, TIBCO Spotfire Statistics Services: versions 10.10.0, 10.10.1, and 10.10.2, and TIBCO Spotfire Statistics Services: versions 11.1.0, 11.2.0, and 11.3.0.

Glexia's TakeAutomated analysis

Security readout for executives and security teams

This is a privilege-escalation risk in Windows installations of several TIBCO Spotfire and Enterprise Runtime for R components. A low-privileged local attacker may be able to place malicious software where an elevated TIBCO component later runs it. It matters most on shared or administrator-accessible analytics servers. Exposure is likely limited to Windows hosts running the listed affected TIBCO Spotfire Server, Spotfire Statistics Services, Spotfire Analytics Platform for AWS Marketplace, or TIBCO Enterprise Runtime for R Server Edition versions. Treat as high priority where affected TIBCO analytics servers run on Windows, especially in environments with multiple local users or broad administrative tooling access. It is less urgent than a confirmed remotely exploited issue. Mitigation focus: Check the TIBCO advisory for fixed releases and supported remediation.; Prioritize remediation on Windows analytics servers with shared local access.; Restrict interactive and service-level access to affected Windows hosts..
