Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions: TIBCO FTL - Community Edition versions 6.5.0 and below TIBCO FTL - Developer Edition versions 6.5.0 and below TIBCO FTL - Enterprise Edition versions 6.5.0 and below

Description: The FTL Server and other FTL API components contain a vulnerability that theoretically allows a low privileged attacker with local access on the Windows operating system to insert malicious software. The affected component can be abused to execute the malicious software inserted by the attacker with the elevated privileges of the component. This issue results from the affected component searching for run-time artifacts outside of the installation hierarchy.

Recommendations: For TIBCO FTL - Community Edition versions 6.5.0 and below, update to a version above 6.5.0 to resolve the issue. For TIBCO FTL - Developer Edition versions 6.5.0 and below, update to a version above 6.5.0 to resolve the issue. For TIBCO FTL - Enterprise Edition versions 6.5.0 and below, update to a version above 6.5.0 to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the affected components to minimize the risk of exploitation.
