Severity: Moderate 

Affected versions:

- Apache OpenOffice through 4.1.15

Description:

Apache OpenOffice documents can contain links. A missing Authorization 
vulnerability in Apache OpenOffice allowed an attacker to craft a document that 
would cause external links 
to be loaded without prompt. Such links could also be used to transmit system 
information, such as environment variables or configuration settings.

In the affected versions of Apache OpenOffice, documents that used a certain 
URI scheme linking to external files would 
load the contents of such files without prompting the user for 
permission to do so. Such URI scheme allows to include system configuration 
data, that is not supposed to be transmitted externally.

This issue affects Apache OpenOffice: through 4.1.15.

Users are recommended to upgrade to version 4.1.16, which fixes the issue.





The LibreOffice suite reported this issue as CVE-2024-12426.
