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 attackers scripts run with the applications 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.

Weakness

The product requires authentication, but the product has an alternate path or channel that does not require authentication.
