7.5
CVSS v3.1
Official Description
Lotus Domino server 5.0.8 with NoBanner enabled allows remote attackers to (1) determine the physical path of the server via a request for a nonexistent file with a .pl (Perl) extension, which leaks the pathname in the error message, or (2) make any request that causes an HTTP 500 error, which leaks the server's version name in the HTTP error message.
Technical Analysis
CVE-2002-0245 can be exploited remotely over the network without requiring physical or adjacent access, significantly expanding the attack surface for threat actors.
Exploitation requires some privileges, which limits the exposure to scenarios where an attacker has already gained initial access.
