An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2019-8990 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2019-8990/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2019-8990/index.md)","id":"CVE-2019-8990","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2019-8990/index.md","name":"CVE-2019-8990","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-6fv5-xv88-5c73"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["security_bypass"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":true,"product_category":"BusinessWorks HTTP Connector","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Attackers can bypass authentication in TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks by exploiting credential reuse in specific HTTP Basic Authentication configurations.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"auth_bypass"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"tibco","cpe":[{"product":"activematrix_businessworks","vendor":"tibco"}],"cvss":{"score":9.1,"severity":"critical","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:N","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-287","name":"Improper Authentication"}],"description":"The HTTP Connector component of TIBCO Software Inc.'s TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks contains a vulnerability that theoretically allows unauthenticated HTTP requests to be processed by the BusinessWorks engine even when authentication is required.
