1) Improper Certificate Validation

EUVDB-ID: #VU57214

Risk: Medium

CVSSv3.1: 5.7 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:N/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]

CVE-ID: CVE-2021-25633

CWE-ID: CWE-295 - Improper Certificate Validation

Description

The vulnerability allows a remote user to perform spoofing attack.

The vulnerability exists due to application does not properly check for digital signatures of ODF files. A remote attacker can create a digitally signed ODF document, by manipulating the documentsignatures.xml or macrosignatures.xml stream within the document to combine multiple certificate data, which when opened caused LibreOffice to display a validly signed indicator but whose content was unrelated to the signature shown.

Mitigation
