LibreOffice < 25.2.4 Authentication Bypass (CVE-2025-14714)
medium Nessus Plugin ID 279100
Language:
Synopsis
The remote host is missing a security update.Description
The version of LibreOffice installed on the remote host is prior to 25.2.4. It is, therefore, affected by a authentication bypass vulnerability:- An authentication bypass vulnerability existed where the application bundled an interpreter (Python) that inherits the Transparency, Consent, and Control (TCC) permissions granted by the user to the main application bundle. By executing the bundled interpreter directly the attacker's scripts run with the application's TCC privileges. In fixed versions parent-constraints are used to allow only the main application to launch interpreter with those permissions.
Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.
Solution
Upgrade to LibreOffice version 25.2.4 or later.See Also
