This repository contains a single Metasploit auxiliary module (modules/auxiliary/dos/http/ibm_lotus_notes2.rb) that exploits a denial of service vulnerability (CVE-2017-1130) in the native browser of IBM Lotus Notes. The module sets up an HTTP server that serves a specially crafted HTML/JavaScript page. When a user with the vulnerable browser visits the page, the script repeatedly triggers file input dialogs and opens new windows, eventually causing the browser to crash. The exploit is operational and does not provide code execution, only denial of service. The main attack vector is network-based, requiring the victim to visit the attacker's web server. The only fingerprintable endpoint is the HTTP server set up by the module. The repository is structured as a typical Metasploit module, written in Ruby, and includes embedded HTML/JavaScript as the payload.
