HCL Domino Server trust flaw lets attackers intercept encrypted connections
Attackers may be able to pretend to be trusted websites and read or change data sent by the server over supposedly secure connections. This happens because the private keys of some certificate authorities used to vouch for those sites were

How the attack works simplified
- 1Attacker obtains CA keyseMudhra intermediate CA private keys were compromised
- 2Attacker positioned on networkUnauthenticated attacker intercepts outbound traffic
- 3Server accepts spoofed certificateDomino trusts certificates chained to compromised CAs
- 4Traffic read or modifiedOutbound TLS connections intercepted and altered
- ResultEncrypted server traffic intercepted by attacker
What happened
Private keys for eight eMudhra intermediate CA certificates were compromised, which undermines certificate trust used by the outbound network request features of HCL Domino Server, enabling man-in-the-middle attacks.
Are you affected?
You are affected if you run HCL Domino Server with outbound network request features that rely on the compromised eMudhra intermediate CA certificates.
HCL Domino Server (versions not specified in the provided material)
What to do
- Check the eMudhra advisory at https://emudhra.we-have-a-problem.com/ for affected certificates
- Check the HCL Domino Server advisory for a fixed version or mitigation and apply it
- Review and restrict outbound network request features until a fix is confirmed
