CVE-2020-9414Network attack vector

Authenticated session theft via reflected script injection

Published Jun 30, 2020 · Updated Sep 17, 2024

Cross-site scripting in TIBCO Managed File Transfer's MFT admin service in 8.2.1 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to steal session identifiers. TIBCO has not disclosed which admin-service input is reflected into a web page without neutralization. Exploitation requires specific account permissions; replaying a stolen identifier grants the victim's administrative or file-transfer permissions.
