Doc Text:	A flaw was found in LibreOffice. When linking spreadsheet cell ranges to external data sources in Calc, a document can specify an external Java database driver. By convincing a user to open a specially crafted document, a remote attacker can force the application to download and execute untrusted Java code from a remote location, resulting in arbitrary code execution.

Description OSIDB Bzimport 2026-10-05 11:35:53 UTC

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.
