TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks Fails To Properly Enforce Authentication
Original release date: April 9, 2019
Last revised: ---
Source: TIBCO Software Inc.
Systems Affected
TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks versions 6.4.2 and below
The following component is affected:
* HTTP Connector
Description
The component listed above contains a vulnerability that theoretically allows
unauthenticated HTTP requests to be processed by the BusinessWorks engine
even when authentication is required. This possibility is restricted to
circumstances where HTTP "Basic Authentication" policy is used in conjunction
with an XML Authentication resource. The BusinessWorks engine might instead
use credentials from a prior HTTP request for authorization purposes.
Impact
The impact of this vulnerability includes the possibility of a malicious
HTTP client successfully executing HTTP requests without authenticating.
This possibility is restricted to circumstances where HTTP basic
authentication is used in conjunction with an XML Authentication resource.
CVSS v3 Base Score: 9.1 CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:N
