Discussion

OpenOffice Python Scripting IDE Remote Code Execution Vulnerability

OpenOffice is prone to a remote code-execution vulnerability because the software fails to properly handle crafted files.

An attacker could exploit this issue by enticing a victim to open a malicious document.

Successful exploits would allow the attacker to execute arbitrary code in the context of the currently logged-in user.
