title: TIBCO Managed File Transfer Platform Server for IBM i Authentication Bypass
description: The file transfer component of TIBCO Software Inc.'s TIBCO Managed File Transfer Platform Server for IBM i contains a vulnerability that theoretically allows an attacker to perform unauthorized network file transfers to and from the file system accessible to the affected component. This vulnerability is exploitable when the configuration option 'Require Node Resp' is set to 'No'. In the event of a successful exploit, the attacker could theoretically read and write any file on the file system accessible to the affected component, thus fully affecting the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the operating system hosting the deployment of the affected system. Affected releases are TIBCO Software Inc.'s TIBCO Managed File Transfer Platform Server for IBM i: versions 7.1.0 and below, version 8.0.0.
problem types: The impact of this vulnerability includes the possibility that an attacker could gain access to the contents of files they are otherwise not authorized to see, and modify files they otherwise should not be able to change, and affect the availability of the hosting system, by way of damaging critical system files.
