The vulnerability was discovered within the “FaviconService”. The service takes a base64-encoded URL which is then requested by the webserver. We assume this service is used by the “meetings”-function where users can specify an external URL where the online meeting will take place.

Users are able to read group conversations without actively taking part in them. Next to one to one conversations, users are able to start group conversations with multiple users. It was found possible to obtain the contents of these group conversations without being part of it. This could lead to information leakage where confidential information discussed in private groups is read by other users without the users knowledge.

Information leakage occurs when a website reveals information that could aid an attacker to further exploit the system. This information may or may not be sensitive and does not automatically mean a breach is likely to occur. Overall, any information that could be used for an attack should be limited whenever possible.

User SID can be modified resulting in an Arbitrary File Upload or deletion of directories causing a Denial of Service. When interacting in a normal matter with the Sametime chat application, users hold a cookie containing their session ID (SID). This value is also used when sending chat messages, receiving notifications and/or transferring files.

Using the ability to perform a Man-in-the-Middle (MITM) attack, which indicates a lack of hostname verification, sensitive account information was able to be intercepted. In this specific scenario, the application's network traffic was intercepted using a proxy server set up in 'transparent' mode while a certificate with an invalid hostname was active. The Android application was found to have hostname verification issues during the server setup and login flows; however, the application did not process requests post-login.

An issue was discovered in the Sametime chat feature in the Notes 11.0 - 11.0.1 FP4 clients. An authenticated Sametime chat user could cause Remote Code Execution on another chat client by sending a specially formatted message through chat containing Javascript code.

XML External Entity (XXE) injection vulnerabilities occur when poorly configured XML parsers process user supplied input without sufficient validation. Attackers can exploit this vulnerability to manipulate XML content and inject malicious external entity references.

Cookie without HTTPONLY flag set. NUMBER cookie(s) was set without Secure or HTTPOnly flags. The images show the cookie with the missing flag. (WebUI)

HCL Commerce is affected by an Insufficient Session Expiration vulnerability. After the session expires, in some circumstances, parts of the application are still accessible.

"TLS-RSA cipher suites are not disabled in BigFix Compliance up to v2.0.5. If TLS 2.0 and secure ciphers are not enabled then an attacker can passively record traffic and later decrypt it."
