Software:

IBM Lotus Notes/Domino

Affected Version(s):

Tested in R6 should work in prior versions as well.

Author:

Juan C Calderon

Description:

An attacker can bypass native Lotus Notes HTML encoding in a computed value by adding square brackets to the beginning and end of a field of the following types computed, computed for display, computed when composed or a "computed text" element, Injecting HTML and JavaScript as desired.

NOTE: This won't work in editable fields

Trivial Example:

http://www.SomeLotusSite.com/FormReflectingURLValue?OpenForm&Field=[<
script>.....</script>]

Solution:

Validate user input for square bracket characters ( [ ] ) in data shown directly or indirectly in computed fields/texts
