Post by Shane1145 »

A high-severity security vulnerability (CVE-2025-0514) in LibreOffice, the widely used open-source office suite, has been patched after researchers discovered it could allow attackers to execute malicious files on Windows systems by exploiting hyperlink handling mechanisms.

The flaw, which impacts versions before 24.8.5, revolves around improper validation of non-file URLs interpreted as Windows file paths through the ShellExecute function.
