CVE-2021-23273 [High] | XSS in Analytics Platform

The Spotfire client component of TIBCO Software Inc.'s TIBCO Spotfire Analyst, TIBCO Spotfire Analytics Platform for AWS Marketplace, TIBCO Spotfire Desktop, and TIBCO Spotfire Server contains a vulnerability that theoretically allows a low privileged attacker with network access to execute a stored Cross Site Scripting (XSS) attack on the affected system. A successful attack using this vulnerability requires human interaction from a person other than the attacker. Affected releases are TIBCO Software Inc.'s TIBCO Spotfire Analyst: versions 10.3.3 and below, versions 10.10.0, 10.10.1, and 10.10.2, versions 10.7.0, 10.8.0, 10.9.0, 11.0.0, and 11.1.0, TIBCO Spotfire Analytics Platform for AWS Marketplace: versions 11.1.0 and below, TIBCO Spotfire Desktop: versions 10.3.3 and below, versions 10.10.0, 10.10.1, and 10.10.2, versions 10.7.0, 10.8.0, 10.9.0, 11.0.0, and 11.1.0, and TIBCO Spotfire Server: versions 10.3.11 and below, versions 10.10.0, 10.10.1, 10.10.2, and 10.10.3, versions 10.7.0, 10.8.0, 10.8.1, 10.9.0, 11.0.0, and 11.1.0.
