New Whitepaper from Digital Security Research Group (dsecrg.com)

Penetration: from Application down to OS. Getting OS Access Using Lotus Domino Application Server Vulnerabilities


This whitepaper continues a series of publications made by DSecRG
researchers describing various ways of obtaining access to the server operating system,
using vulnerabilities in popular business applications which meet in the corporate environment.

This time we will talk about Lotus Domino – a very popular application that provides enterprise-grade e-mail,
collaboration capabilities. This system stores a huge amount of critical corporate data and represents
a good target for a potential attacker. Also people must be aware of that this system is usually available
from the Internet and can be hacked to get access to the operation system of the server in DMZ and then to
the internal servers of corporate environment and in this paper we will show how to do this.


This whitepaper has been made to inform people of the importance of business application security
as these applications store critical business data and can represent targets for hacker attacks.
According statistics of the latest security assessments, pen-tests and application security assessments
performed by Digital Security, applications are the less secured chain in the complex IT system security area.
