LibreOffice < 6.2.6 / 6.3 Input Validation (Windows)
critical Nessus Plugin ID 133474
Language:
Synopsis
A input validation vulnerability exists in Document Foundation LibreOffice versions prior to 6.2.6 or 6.3.0 due to insufficient URL encoding.Description
According to its self-reported version, the LibreOffice application running on the remote host is prior to 6.2.6.It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities:
- Protection that was added to mitigate CVE-2019-9848 which prevents LibreLogo from being called from a document event handler. However, insufficient validation of URL encoded characters could allow an attacker to bypass these protections and trigger LibreLogo from script event handlers. (CVE-2019-9850)
- It is possible for documents to specify that pre-installed scripts be executed on global script events like document-open, etc. (CVE-2019-9851)
- A feature of this application is that documents can make use of pre-installed macros that can be executed on various script events, the macros are supposed to only be able to access scripts in share/Scripts/python and user/Scripts/python sub-directories of the applications install. However, due to not properly sanitizing URL encoded characters this can be bypassed to allow execution of scripts in other directories. (CVE-2019-9852) Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.
Solution
Upgrade to LibreOffice version 6.2.6, 6.3.0 or later.See Also
