HTTP: Lotus Domino .nsf Directory Traversal
This signature detects directory traversal attempts against Lotus Domino Web Servers. Versions 5.0.6 and earlier are vulnerable. Attackers can send a malicious URL that contains a blank .nsf extension and uses a relative path to the server files that attacker wants to access.
Extended Description
It is possible for a remote user to gain access to any known file residing on the Lotus Domino Server 5.0.6 and previous. A specially crafted HTTP request comprised of '.nsf' and '../' along with the known filename, will display the contents of the particular file with read permissions. Successful exploitation of this vulnerability could enable a remote user to gain access to systems files, password files, etc. This could lead to a complete compromise of the host.
