Title: Lotus Domino File Disclosure 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.
Some databases are created with 'template files'. These files are located in the same directory as Notes database files, but with different file extensions. Because Domino retrieves requested web-files from locations on the filesystem corresponding to the file's extension, an attempt to access a template file will result in a 404 error.
Despite this, it is possible to access a template by using it's 'Replica ID'. A Replica ID is a 16-digit value used when synchronizing database resources across different servers.
By specifying it's Replica ID, an attacker can successfully request the Web Administrator template. Access to this template file may allow for an attacker to view the contents of arbitrary webserver-readable files on the filesystem.
