LibreOffice and OpenOffice Flaws Let Malicious Spreadsheets Run Code Without Macro Warnings
First reported Source: The Hacker NewsLast editorial activity
What happened
A malicious spreadsheet can make LibreOffice (free and open-source productivity software suite by The Document Foundation) and Apache OpenOffice run an attacker's code as soon as the file is opened, security researchers have shown. There is no warning first, of the kind either program shows before it runs a macro. The attack works only when the program's Java support is enabled.
