CVE-2020-9409Network attack vector

Unauthenticated superuser access

Published May 20, 2020 · Updated Sep 17, 2024

Authentication bypass in TIBCO JasperReports Server 7.1.1 and earlier allows remote attackers to obtain superuser permissions. TIBCO identifies the administrative UI as the affected component but has not disclosed the request path or access-control operation that grants those permissions. The AWS Marketplace and ActiveMatrix BPM editions share the unauthenticated remote exposure, which grants full server administration and can lead to code execution as the service account.
