Vulnerability from github – Published: 2024-08-05 15:30 – Updated: 2024-08-05 15:30

Details

Certificate Validation user interface in LibreOffice allows potential vulnerability.

Signed macros are scripts that have been digitally signed by the developer using a cryptographic signature. When a document with a signed macro is opened a warning is displayed by LibreOffice before the macro is executed.

Previously if verification failed the user could fail to understand the failure and choose to enable the macros anyway.

This issue affects LibreOffice: from 24.2 before 24.2.5.

Severity

7.8 (High)

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.
