Description:
Thomas Pollet has reported a vulnerability in IBM Lotus Expeditor, which can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a user's system.

The problem is that the application registers the "cai" URI handler, which allows launching rcplauncher.exe with arbitrary command line arguments. This can be exploited to execute arbitrary programs via the "-launcher" argument.

The vulnerability affects Lotus Expeditor Client for Desktop versions 6.1.1 and 6.1.2 on Windows systems using Internet Explorer.
