Lotus Notes SMTP MTA is susceptible to being used as a mail relay for SPAM or other unsolicited email. By connecting to the mail server (tcp25) and issuing a 'MAIL FROM' command with <> as the argument, then issuing a specially encapsulated RCPT TO, an unauthorized user can relay email via this server.
An encapsulated address looks like this: encapsulatedaddress@yourdomain.com
where yourdomain.com is the domain of the vulnerable mail server, and encapsulatedaddress is the encoded destination email address. The encoding scheme is as follows: replace "@" with "%".
With Rapid7 live dashboards, I have a clear view of all the assets on my network, which ones can be exploited, and what I need to do in order to reduce the risk in my environment in real-time. No other tool gives us that kind of value and insight.
