Summary

LibreOffice from 26.2 before 26.2.5 is affected. Calc links cell ranges to external data sources saved in the document, and a document can name a Java database driver that is loaded from a remote location (CWE-829). If a user opens a crafted document, an attacker can run Java code from that location.

Description from the CNA

LibreOffice Calc can link a cell range to an external data source, and the link is saved in the document. A document could name a Java database driver for such a link to be loaded from a remote location, so opening the document could run Java code from that location. In fixed versions an entry in a Java class path has to be a file URL.
