CVE-2025-14714

TCC privilege bypass via directly executed Python launcher

Published Dec 15, 2025 · Updated Dec 15, 2025

Authentication bypass in LibreOffice 25.2 through 25.2.3 on macOS allows local users to run scripts with the application’s TCC privileges. The bundled Python launcher is directly executable and inherits TCC grants assigned to the main application bundle without enforcing its parent process. Exploitation requires local low-privileged execution and prior user-granted TCC access for LibreOffice, exposing only data or services covered by those grants.
