The execution of those macros is controlled by the document security settings, typically execution of macros are blocked by default. A URL decoding flaw existed in how the urls to the macros within the document were processed and categorized, resulting in the possibility to construct a document where macro execution bypassed the security settings. The documents were correctly detected as containing macros, and prompted the user to their existence within the documents, but macros within the document were subsequently not controlled by the security settings allowing arbitrary macro execution This issue affects: LibreOffice 6.2 series versions prior to 6.2.7; LibreOffice 6.3 series versions prior to 6.3.1.","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":{"version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","score":7.8},"cwes":["CWE-116"],"references":["http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-security-announce/2019-12/msg00040.html","http://packetstormsecurity.com/files/156474/Open-Xchange-App-Suite-Documents-Server-Side-Request-Forgery.html","http://seclists.org/fulldisclosure/2020/Feb/23","https://lists.apache.org/thread.html/19c917f7c8a0d8f62142046fabfe3e2c7d6091ef1f92b99c6e79e24e%40%3Ccommits.openoffice.apache.org%3E","https://lists.apache.org/thread.html/27339e8a9a1e9bb47fbdb939b338256d0356250a1974aaf4d774f683%40%3Ccommits.openoffice.apache.org%3E"],"products":["libreoffice:libreoffice"],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T20:59:10.855360465+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2019-9853","score":0.03081,"percentile":0.87687,"date":"2026-10-31"},"kev":null,"osv":[],"attribution":["This product uses the NVD API but is not endorsed or certified by the NVD.","EPSS scores: FIRST Exploit Prediction Scoring System, https://www.first.org/epss","Known exploited vulnerabilities: CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog, https://www.cisa.gov/known-exploited-vulnerabilities-catalog","Package advisories: OSV (https://osv.dev), from the GitHub Advisory Database, PyPA, Go, RustSec and other ecosystem databases, under CC-BY 4.0 or CC0","CVE records: the CVE Program's CVE List (https://www.cve.org), under its terms of use (https://www.cve.org/Legal/TermsOfUse).
