Doc Text:
A flaw was found in LibreOffice. A remote attacker could craft a malicious document containing specially constructed URLs. When a user opens this document, these URLs could expand environment variables or INI file values, leading to the exfiltration of potentially sensitive information to a remote server. This vulnerability allows for unauthorized disclosure of local system configuration or user-specific data.

Description OSIDB Bzimport 2026-09-22 16:21:30 UTC
URLs could be constructed which expanded environment variable or INI file values, so potentially sensitive information could be exfiltrated to a remote server on opening a document containing such links. The check added for CVE-2024-12426 did not recognise every way of naming the package content provider, so a URL that named it differently still reached the expansion. In fixed versions the package content provider is matched when the URL is checked.
