CWEhttps://cwe.mitre.org/data/definitions/281.html

Insufficient macro permission validation of The Document Foundation LibreOffice allows an attacker to execute built-in macros without warning.

In affected versions LibreOffice supports hyperlinks with macro or similar built-in command targets that can be executed when activated without warning the user.

Weakness

The product does not preserve permissions or incorrectly preserves permissions when copying, restoring, or sharing objects, which can cause them to have less restrictive permissions than intended.
