Title
Apache OpenOffice: Macro URL arbitrary script execution
Summary
Apache OpenOffice documents can contain links that call internal macros with arbitrary arguments. Several URI Schemes are defined for this purpose. Links can be activated by clicks, or by automatic document events. The execution of such links must be subject to user approval. In the affected versions of OpenOffice, approval for certain links is not requested; when activated, such links could therefore result in arbitrary script execution.
Severity
No CVSS data available.
CWE
  • CWE-20 - Improper Input Validation
  • CWE-88 - Improper Neutralization of Argument Delimiters in a Command ('Argument Injection')
