During the analysis of this issue, it was discovered that an incorrect bug fix was made by the StarOffice/ developers preparing OpenOffice 2.0 in 2005, whilst under the auspices of Sun Microsystems. When: The vulnerability predates OpenOffice entering the Apache Incubator. Best practice dictates to be careful when opening documents from unknown and unverified sources. Why: The mitigation in Apache OpenOffice 4.1.10 assures that a security warning is displayed to give users the option of continuing to open the hyperlink. How: Applications of the OpenOffice suite handle non-http(s) hyperlinks in an insecure way, allowing for 1-click code execution on Windows and Xubuntu systems via malicious executable files hosted on Internet-accessible file shares. >Credit: Fabian Bräunlein and Lukas Euler of Positive Security CVE-2021-30245: Code execution in Apache OpenOffice via non-http(s) schemes in Hyperlinks
