By being able to execute LibreLogo instructions, an attacker can execute any Python code in the context of the current user session by using the command 'run' provided in LibreLogo. From Python, using the system() function, arbitrary system commands can be invoked.<\/p>\n<p>LibreLogo is an optional component, but LibreOffice by default offers macros that allow calling LibreLogo without requiring confirmation for execution and do not display warnings, even when the maximum macro protection mode is enabled (setting the level to 'Very High').<br \/>\nTo execute an attack, such a macro can be tied to an event handler that is triggered when, for example, the mouse cursor hovers over a specific area or when the input focus on the document is activated (onFocus event). As a result, opening a document prepared by an attacker may lead to the hidden execution of Python code, unnoticed by the user. For instance, in the demonstrated exploit example, the system calculator starts without any warning when the document is opened.<br \/>\n<center><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"A vulnerability in LibreOffice that allows for code execution when opening malicious documents\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/0fec54fd44a32fd9940cc833f8490b21.png\" style=\"display:block;margin: 0 auto;\" \/><\/center><\/p>\n<p>The vulnerability was quietly patched in the LibreOffice 6.2.5 update released on July 1, but it turns out the issue was not fully resolved (only the call to LibreLogo from macros was blocked) and <noindex><a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/rapid7\/metasploit-framework\/pull\/12147\">some other attack vectors remain unpatched.<\/a><\/noindex> Moreover, the problem is not fixed in the 6.1.6 release recommended for corporate users.
