CVE-2004-1621: n/a vulnerability

CVE-2004-1621: NOTE: this issue has been disputed by the vendor.

NOTE: this issue has been disputed by the vendor. Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in IBM Lotus Notes R6 and Domino R6, and possibly earlier versions, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary web script or HTML via square brackets at the beginning and end of (1) computed for display, (2) computed when composed, or (3) computed text element fields. NOTE: the vendor has disputed this issue, saying that it is not a problem with Notes/Domino itself, but with the applications that do not properly handle this feature

Security readout for executives and security teams

This is an old, vendor-disputed XSS report involving IBM Lotus Notes/Domino R6 field handling. The concern is that certain computed text fields could allow script or HTML to render if applications handle the feature unsafely. IBM disputed it as an application issue rather than a Notes/Domino product flaw. Exposure is likely limited to legacy IBM Lotus Notes/Domino R6, possibly earlier versions, and applications using the named computed field types with untrusted or user-controllable content. Treat this as a legacy exposure review item, not an emergency, unless internet-facing Domino applications still process untrusted input through the described field types. Mitigation focus: Check IBM guidance for the disputed issue before assuming a product patch exists.; Review Notes/Domino applications using the affected computed field types.; Ensure untrusted field content is safely handled before web rendering..
