Title
Apache OpenOffice: Remote document loaded without prompt, possibiy leaking environment variables
Summary
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, possibly transferring the contents of environment variables in the process.
This issue affects Apache OpenOffice: through 4.1.16.
Users are recommended to upgrade to version 4.1.17, which fixes the issue.

The MITRE ATT&CK techniques below are AI-generated suggestions, inferred from the description of the
vulnerability by the CIRCL/vulnerability-attack-technique-classification-roberta-base
model, served locally by ML-Gateway.
They have not been verified by an analyst and are provided for guidance only.
The approach is described in our paper Mapping CVEs to MITRE ATT&CK Techniques: A Curated Gold-Set Classifier and the Limits of LLM-Assisted Label Expansion.
