Title: Lotus Notes Visible Views Disclosure Vulnerability
Severity: MODERATE
Description:
Lotus Domino is an application server developed by IBM. One of it's features is that it allows for remote user interaction with a Lotus Notes database via a web-based interface.
The components of this package that facilitate remote access to a Notes database are called 'Navigators'. Administrators can create Navigators for Notes databases that allow for searching and retrieval of documents from that database with a web browser.
By default, Lotus Domino comes pre-configured with a Navigator called '$defaultNav'. This Navigator allows for a remote client to view the visible views in the requested database. If a remote attacker accesses this Navigator, sensitive information about the structure of the database may be disclosed.
It is suggested that URL redirection based on pattern matching be implemented to prevent unauthorized access to this Navigator. This may not be sufficient as it is possible to manipulate an HTTP request to evade some patterns bieng matched.
