CVE-2018-18809
TIBCO JasperReports Library Directory Traversal Vulnerability
In short
A flaw in TIBCO JasperReports allows attackers to bypass folder restrictions and access files anywhere on the server's hard drive through specially crafted requests. This is critical because attackers can read sensitive system files and configuration data without needing special credentials.
Technical detail
Directory traversal vulnerability in the default server implementation enables path manipulation through web requests to access arbitrary files outside intended directories. The vulnerability affects multiple TIBCO reporting products across various versions; exploitation requires only web access to the affected service, allowing unauthorized file disclosure on the host system.
