CVE-2024-3044Network attack vector

Script execution via trusted graphic click handlers

Published May 14, 2024 · Updated Nov 12, 2024

Code injection in LibreOffice 7.6 before 7.6.7 and 24.2 before 24.2.3 allows attackers to execute built-in scripts through a crafted document. Graphic on-click handlers treat document-bound built-in scripts as trusted and invoke them without consulting the document macro permissions set at load time. Exploitation requires the recipient to open the crafted document and click its graphic, after which the bound script runs without a warning prompt.
