CVE-2020-9412Network attack vector

Unauthenticated command execution via failed transfers

Published Jun 9, 2020 · Updated Sep 17, 2024

Command execution in TIBCO Managed File Transfer Platform Server 8.0.0 and 7.1.0 and earlier allows remote attackers to run commands. The file-transfer component processes a failed transfer in a way that triggers arbitrary command execution, but the responsible input and code path remain undisclosed. No authentication is required, and commands run at the affected system's privilege level, enabling command-based compromise.
