Detailed vulnerability description
The vulnerability allows a remote user to execute arbitrary code with the rights of another user.
The vulnerability exists due to improper access control in XClass definitions when a document containing dangerous XClass properties is later edited by a higher-privileged user. A remote user can create a malicious XClass definition to execute arbitrary code with the rights of another user.
