CVE-2023-2255
Description
A vulnerability was found in LibreOffice. Improper access control in the editor components of The Document Foundation in LibreOffice allows an attacker to craft a document that causes external links to load without a prompt. In the affected versions of LibreOffice documents that used "floating frames" linked to external files, they would load the contents of those frames without prompting the user for permission. This action was inconsistent with the treatment of other linked content in LibreOffice.
Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) Score Details
Info alert:Important note
CVSS scores for open source components depend on vendor-specific factors (e.g. version or build chain). Therefore, Red Hat's score and impact rating can be different from NVD and other vendors. Red Hat remains the authoritative CVE Naming Authority (CNA) source for its products and services (see Red Hat classifications).
