Title: Lotus Domino View ACL Bypass Vulnerability
Severity: HIGH
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.
Lotus Notes documents can be organized into 'Views' in Lotus Domino. To protect sensitive documents, it is possible to place ACLs on views.
Lotus Domino contains a vulnerability in that it is possible to access any Notes document from any view simply by manually specifying the document NoteID.
The behaviour exhibited by Domino suggests that access controls are only applied when a document is being accessed through the appropriate view.
Sensitive documents may be disclosed to attackers if administrators rely solely on view ACLs to protect them.
