NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream libreoffice-help-el package and not the libreoffice-help-el package as distributed by AlmaLinux. See How to fix? for AlmaLinux:8 relevant fixed versions and status.

Improper access control in editor components of The Document Foundation LibreOffice allowed an attacker to craft a document that would cause external links to be loaded without prompt. In the affected versions of LibreOffice documents that used "floating frames" linked to external files, would load the contents of those frames without prompting the user for permission to do so. This was inconsistent with the treatment of other linked content in LibreOffice. This issue affects: The Document Foundation LibreOffice 7.4 versions prior to 7.4.7; 7.5 versions prior to 7.5.3.
