Summary

The Java Console in IBM Domino 8.5.x before 8.5.3 FP6 IF13 and 9.x before 9.0.1 FP6, when a certain unsupported configuration involving UNC share pathnames is used, allows remote attackers to bypass authentication and possibly execute arbitrary code via unspecified vectors, aka SPR KLYHA7MM3J. NOTE: this vulnerability exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2011-0920.

Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE)

Common Attack Pattern Enumeration and Classification (CAPEC)

  • Embedding Scripts within Scripts
    An attack of this type exploits a programs' vulnerabilities that are brought on by allowing remote hosts to execute scripts. The attacker leverages this capability to execute scripts to execute his/her own script by embedding it within other scripts that the target software is likely to execute. The attacker must have the ability to inject script into script that is likely to be executed. If this is done, then the attacker can potentially launch a variety of probes and attacks against the web server's local environment, in many cases the so-called DMZ, back end resources the web server can communicate with, and other hosts. With the proliferation of intermediaries, such as Web App Firewalls, network devices, and even printers having JVMs and Web servers, there are many locales where an attacker can inject malicious scripts. Since this attack pattern defines scripts within scripts, there are likely privileges to execute said attack on the host. Of course, these attacks are not solely limited to the server side, client side scripts like Ajax and client side JavaScript can contain malicious scripts as well. In general all that is required is for there to be sufficient privileges to execute a script, but not protected against writing.
  • Signature Spoofing by Key Theft
    An attacker obtains an authoritative or reputable signer's private signature key by theft and then uses this key to forge signatures from the original signer to mislead a victim into performing actions that benefit the attacker.

    descriptionAccording to its banner, the version of IBM Domino (formerly IBM Lotus Domino) running on the remote host is 9.0.x prior to 9.0.1 Fix Pack 6 (FP6). It is, therefore, affected by the following vulnerabilities : - Multiple heap-based buffer overflow conditions exist in the KeyView PDF filter when parsing a PDF document due to improper validation of user-supplied input. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit these, by convincing a user to open a specially crafted PDF document, to cause a denial of service condition or the execution of arbitrary code. (CVE-2016-0277, CVE-2016-0278, CVE-2016-0279, CVE-2016-0301) - A security restriction bypass vulnerability exists in the remote console due to an error that occurs when an unspecified unsupported configuration is used involving UNC share path names. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to bypass authentication and possibly execute arbitrary code with SYSTEM privileges. (CVE-2016-0304)
