Summary
An Authentication Bypass vulnerability existed where the application bundled an interpreter (Python) that inherits the Transparency, Consent, and Control (TCC) permissions granted by the user to the main application bundle. By executing the bundled interpreter directly the attacker's scripts run with the application's TCC privileges. In fixed versions parent-constraints are used to allow only the main application to launch interpreter with those permissions. This issue affects LibreOffice on macOS: from 25.2 before < 25.2.4.
Risk Assessment
An attacker can bypass macOS security mechanisms and gain access to protected resources such as microphone, camera, or user data by exploiting the bundled Python interpreter. The risk affects LibreOffice users on macOS versions from 25.2 to 25.2.4.
Recommendation
Update LibreOffice on macOS to version 25.2.4 or later. Avoid running untrusted Python scripts in the LibreOffice context.

LibreOffice versions before 4.3.5 allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (invalid write operation and crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted RTF file.
- CVE-2014-0247High
LibreOffice version 4.2.4 automatically executes unspecified VBA macros, which may lead to unknown impacts and attack vectors.
- CVE-2017-8358Critical

- CVE-2026-63277High
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 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.
