IBM Lotus Expeditor Client 6.1.2 URI code injection

CVSS Meta Temp Score
CVSS is a standardized scoring system to determine possibilities of attacks. The Temp Score considers temporal factors like disclosure, exploit and countermeasures. The unique Meta Score calculates the average score of different sources to provide a normalized scoring system.
Current Exploit Price (≈)
Our analysts are monitoring exploit markets and are in contact with vulnerability brokers. The range indicates the observed or calculated exploit price to be seen on exploit markets. A good indicator to understand the monetary effort required for and the popularity of an attack.
CTI Interest Score
Our Cyber Threat Intelligence team is monitoring different web sites, mailing lists, exploit markets and social media networks. The CTI Interest Score identifies the interest of attackers and the security community for this specific vulnerability in real-time. A high score indicates an elevated risk to be targeted for this vulnerability.

A vulnerability classified as very critical has been found in IBM Lotus Expeditor Client 6.1.2 (Groupware Software). Affected is an unknown code block of the component URI Handler. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a code injection vulnerability. CWE is classifying the issue as CWE-94. The product constructs all or part of a code segment using externally-influenced input from an upstream component, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes special elements that could modify the syntax or behavior of the intended code segment. This is going to have an impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. CVE summarizes:

Argument injection vulnerability in the cai: URI handler in rcplauncher in IBM Lotus Expeditor Client for Desktop 6.1.1 and 6.1.2, as used by Lotus Symphony and possibly other products, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code by injecting a -launcher option via a cai: URI, as demonstrated by a reference to a UNC share pathname.

The bug was discovered 04/24/2008. The weakness was presented 04/25/2008 by Thomas Pollet (Website). The advisory is available at xforce.iss.net. This vulnerability is traded as CVE-2008-1965 since 04/25/2008. It is possible to launch the attack remotely. The exploitation doesn't require any form of authentication. The technical details are unknown and an exploit is not available. The structure of the vulnerability defines a possible price range of USD $0-$5k at the moment (estimation calculated on 08/09/2019). It is expected to see the exploit prices for this product increasing in the near future.This vulnerability is assigned to T1059 by the MITRE ATT&CK project.

It is declared as proof-of-concept. The vulnerability was handled as a non-public zero-day exploit for at least 1 days. During that time the estimated underground price was around $25k-$100k.

There is no information about possible countermeasures known. It may be suggested to replace the affected object with an alternative product. Furthermore it is possible to detect and prevent this kind of attack with TippingPoint and the filter 6145.

The vulnerability is also documented in the vulnerability database at X-Force (41990). See VDB-202953, VDB-204929, VDB-210648 and VDB-215638 for similar entries.
