CVE-2022-47502: Apache OpenOffice: Macro URL arbitrary script execution


From: Marcus Lange <marcus () apache org>

Severity: critical

Description:

Apache OpenOffice documents can contain links that call internal macros with arbitrary arguments. Several URI Schemes 
are defined for this purpose.


Links can be activated by clicks, or by automatic document events.

The execution of such links must be subject to user approval.

In the affected versions of OpenOffice, approval for certain links is not   requested; when activated, such links could 
therefore result in arbitrary script execution.
