CVE-2019-9852

LibreOffice has a feature where documents can specify that pre-installed macros can be executed on various script events such as mouse-over, document-open etc. Access is intended to be restricted to scripts under the share/Scripts/python, user/Scripts/python sub-directories of the LibreOffice install. Protection was added, to address CVE-2018-16858, to avoid a directory traversal attack where scripts in arbitrary locations on the file system could be executed. However this new protection could be bypassed by a URL encoding attack. In the fixed versions, the parsed url describing the script location is correctly encoded before further processing. This issue affects: Document Foundation LibreOffice versions prior to 6.2.6.

LibreOffice está comúnmente incorporada con LibreLogo, un script de gráficos específicos turtle programables, lo que puede ejecutar comandos arbitrarios de python contenidos con el documento desde que se inicia. Se agregó protección, para abordar el CVE-2019-9848, para bloquear las llamadas a LibreLogo desde los manejadores de script de eventos de documentos, p. ej. mouse over. Sin embargo, LibreOffice también presenta una funcionalidad separada en la que los documentos pueden especificar que los scripts preinstalados pueden ser ejecutados en varios eventos de script globales, tales como document-open, etc. Este problema afecta: Document Foundation LibreOffice versiones anteriores a 6.2.6
