Description Marian Rehak 2023-05-19 09:52:15 UTC 
The issue occurs when LibreOffice executes the database/script file that is part of a base document. If this file contains a command like SCRIPT '../../../../../../../../../../../tmp/ohai', it will write the current contents of the database script to that file once a database connection is established.

I cannot view the embargoed BZ, and thus cannot work on this.
