CVE-2025-64402Network attack vector

Unprompted external content loading via OLE objects

Published Nov 12, 2025 · Updated Nov 12, 2025

Missing authorization in Apache OpenOffice 4.1.15 and earlier allows remote attackers to load external content through crafted OLE objects. When a document contains an OLE object linked to an external file, the document loader fetches that file without presenting the required consent prompt. Exploitation requires a user to open the crafted document, after which remote content enters the document without authorization.
