Descriptions

Certificate Validation user interface in LibreOffice allows potential vulnerability.




Signed macros are scripts that have been digitally signed by the
developer using a cryptographic signature. When a document with a signed
macro is opened a warning is displayed by LibreOffice before the macro
is executed.

Previously if verification failed the user could fail to understand the failure and choose to enable the macros anyway.


This issue affects LibreOffice: from 24.2 before 24.2.5.

A vulnerability was found in versions of LibreOffice from 24.2 to before 24.2.5. When a document containing a signed macro fails verification, LibreOffice will display a warning which the user can choose to ignore the failure and enable the macro anyways.
