The Server component of TIBCO Software Inc.'s TIBCO JasperReports Library and related products contains a directory-traversal vulnerability identified as CVE-2022-22771. The vulnerability was disclosed on March 15, 2022, affecting multiple products including TIBCO JasperReports Library version 7.9.0, TIBCO JasperReports Library for ActiveMatrix BPM version 7.9.0, TIBCO JasperReports Server versions 7.9.0 and 7.9.1, and various other related server products (NVD).

The vulnerability is classified as a path traversal vulnerability (CWE-22) that may theoretically allow web server users to access contents of the host system. The severity assessment shows a CVSS v3.1 base score of 8.8 (HIGH) according to NVD, with attack vector being Network, attack complexity Low, requiring Low privileges, and no user interaction needed. TIBCO's own assessment rated it even higher with a CVSS v3.0 score of 9.9 (CRITICAL) (NVD).

If exploited, this vulnerability could allow attackers to access contents of the host system through directory traversal, potentially exposing sensitive information and system files beyond the intended access boundaries (NVD).

TIBCO has addressed this vulnerability in subsequent releases. Users of affected products should upgrade to newer versions that contain the security fixes (TIBCO Advisory).
