Critical: Less critical
Impact: Cross Site Scripting
Where: From remote
Software: Lotus Domino R6
Description:
Dr_insane has reported a vulnerability in IBM Lotus Domino, which can be exploited by malicious people to conduct cross-site scripting attacks.
The vulnerability is caused due to missing input validation in the "Quick Console" in the administrative web interface ("webadmin.nsf"). This can be exploited to execute arbitrary HTML and script code in an administrative user's browser session in context of an affected site by tricking the user into visiting a malicious website or click a specially crafted link.
The vulnerability has been reported in version 6.5.1. Other versions may also be affected.
Two other issues were also reported in the folder creation functionality of the administrative web interface. An administrative user can enumerate files on the system and create folders in arbitrary location via directory traversals.
Solution:
Filter malicious characters and character sequences in a proxy server.
