IBM Lotus Notes 6.0, 6.5, and 7.0 does not properly handle replies to e-mail messages with alternate name users when the (1) "Save As Draft" option is used or (2) a "," (comma) is inside the "phrase" portion of an address, which can cause the e-mail to be sent to users that were deleted from the To, CC, and BCC fields, which allows remote attackers to obtain the list of original recipients.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This is an email privacy flaw in IBM Lotus Notes 6.0, 6.5, and 7.0. Under specific reply and draft/address formatting conditions, recipients removed from To, CC, or BCC may still receive the message, exposing the original recipient list. It is not described as system compromise. Exposure is most likely in legacy environments still using IBM Lotus Notes 6.0, 6.5, or 7.0 for email workflows, especially where alternate name users or complex display-name address formatting are used. Treat as a privacy and confidentiality issue, not an infrastructure takeover risk. Priority rises where legacy Notes handles sensitive legal, HR, executive, customer, or regulated communications. Mitigation focus: Inventory any remaining Lotus Notes 6.0, 6.5, or 7.0 clients.; Check IBM guidance for fixed versions or vendor-recommended workarounds.; Prioritize migration from affected legacy Notes versions where still present..
