Discussion

IBM Lotus Domino Password Encryption Weakness

IBM Lotus Domino is affected by a password encryption weakness. This issue arises due to a design error.

Reportedly, the algorithm used by Lotus Domino to encrypt user passwords does not use a salt value.

This can aid in brute force attacks by significantly reducing the time needed to crack a password. Attackers may also pre-compute password hashes before targeting a vulnerable computer.

All versions of Lotus Domino are considered to be affected by this weakness.
