CVE-2020-9413Network attack vector

Session hijacking via reflected cross-site scripting

Published Jun 30, 2020 · Updated Sep 17, 2024

Reflected XSS in TIBCO MFT Command Center and Internet Server 8.2.1 and earlier allows remote attackers to hijack active sessions. The MFT Browser file transfer and admin clients process crafted URL input as executable page content, exposing the active session identifier. Exploitation requires a currently authenticated user to enter or click the URL and grants the attacker every action available to that user.
