2) Inadequate Encryption Strength

EUVDB-ID: #VU65767

Risk: Low

CVSSv4.0: 1.1 [CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:L/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear]

CVE-ID: CVE-2022-26306

CWE-ID: CWE-326 - Inadequate Encryption Strength

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a local user to gain access to sensitive information.

The vulnerability exists due to LibreOffice uses a weak initialization vector for encrypting passwords for web connections in the user’s configuration database. A local user can decrypt victim's password.

Mitigation

Install updates from vendor's website.

3) Inadequate Encryption Strength

EUVDB-ID: #VU65768

Risk: Low

CVSSv4.0: 1.1 [CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:L/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear]

CVE-ID: CVE-2022-26307

CWE-ID: CWE-326 - Inadequate Encryption Strength

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a local user to gain access to sensitive information.

The vulnerability exists due to LibreOffice uses a poor encoding of the master key for web connections in the user’s configuration database, resulting in weakening its entropy from 128 to 43 bits. A local user can decrypt victim's password.

Mitigation

Install updates from vendor's website.

4) Command Injection

EUVDB-ID: #VU68115

Risk: High

CVSSv4.0: 5.7 [CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:A/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Amber]

CVE-ID: CVE-2022-3140

CWE-ID: CWE-77 - Command injection

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary shell commands on the target system.

The vulnerability exists due to improper input validation when parsing arguments for the "vnd.libreoffice.command'" URI scheme. A remote attacker can create a specially crafted document, trick the victim into opening it and execute internal macros with arbitrary arguments.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system.

Mitigation

Install updates from vendor's website.
