Critical
| Vector | AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H |
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
LibreOffice versions prior to 5.4.5
LibreOffice versions 6.x prior to 6.0.1
Description
The issue is related to the COM.MICROSOFT.WEBSERVICE function in LibreOffice, which allows remote attackers to read arbitrary files via =WEBSERVICE calls in a document. This is due to inadequate management of registration data. An attacker can exploit this issue by sending a specially crafted request to gain access to protected information.
Recommendations
For versions prior to 5.4.5, update to version 5.4.5 or later.
For versions 6.x prior to 6.0.1, update to version 6.0.1 or later.
As a temporary workaround, consider disabling the
COM.MICROSOFT.WEBSERVICE function until a patch is available.Exploit
