Exploitation Conditions

Requires a Linux installation of LibreOffice using the GStreamer media backend, a document that links to media where the linked resource is a crafted HLS playlist naming further local files or remote/internal URLs, and a victim who opens the document and permits linked-media/link updates. Exploitation is limited by: Linux-only applicability (not Windows/macOS), the need for user interaction to open the document and allow link updates, and the fact that fixed versions no longer follow playlists that name further resources and keep linked media under link-update control. These factors make exploitation targeted and interaction-dependent rather than automatic.

Impact

This is a moderate-severity information-disclosure (SSRF, CWE-918) issue, not an urgent priority. The vendor CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:P/VC:H/VI:N/VA:N/SC:H/SI:N/SA:N, 6.7) correctly reflects a local attack vector requiring victim interaction: exploitation depends on a user opening a crafted document on Linux and media links being updated, rather than remote network-triggered compromise. There is no CISA KEV listing and no public exploit identified at time of analysis, so exploitation status is theoretical. No EPSS or SSVC data was supplied in the input, so automatable/exploitation-maturity signals cannot be weighed. The high confidentiality impact (local file and internal-URL disclosure via GStreamer following an HLS playlist) is real and matches a classic SSRF/local-file-read pattern, but the local vector plus required user interaction substantially limit real-world risk. One point to verify with the vendor: the vendor assigned PR:L, yet a malicious-document attack typically needs no attacker privileges on the target system (PR:N) - this metric choice should be confirmed. Overall: patch in normal cycles, not an emergency.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An attacker emails or shares a LibreOffice document that contains what appears to be a linked audio/video file but is actually an HLS playlist. When a Linux victim opens the document and linked media is updated, GStreamer follows the playlist entries, reading local files and attacker-specified remote/internal URLs, and their contents are pulled into the document where the attacker can later retrieve them. No public exploit is identified at time of analysis, and the local vector plus required user interaction make this an opportunistic social-engineering attack rather than a mass-exploitable one.

AnalysisAIv1 – Oct 05, 2026

Server-side request forgery in LibreOffice on Linux can expose local files and internal or remote URLs when a document links to a crafted HLS media playlist and the victim opens it and permits link updates. LibreOffice relies on the GStreamer media backend on Linux to play linked audio and video; a malicious playlist's listed resources were fetched while the document loaded and their contents could be written into the document, yielding confidentiality impact (VC:H, SC:H) with no integrity or availability impact in the assessed CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:H/I:N/A:N). The issue is moderate severity and interaction-dependent rather than an urgent priority; no public exploit code and no confirmed active exploitation (no CISA KEV listing) were identified at time of analysis, and exploitation is constrained to Linux installations using the GStreamer backend.

RemediationAI

Update to a fixed LibreOffice release as documented in the vendor advisory (https://www.libreoffice.org/about-us/security/advisories/cve-2026-63269); fixed builds no longer follow HLS playlists that name further resources and keep linked media under link-update control, so upgrading is the primary, complete fix - the exact fixed version number is not specified in the provided data and should be read from the advisory rather than assumed. Where upgrading immediately is not possible, compensating controls on Linux deployments are: switch LibreOffice's media backend away from GStreamer or disable linked audio/video playback entirely (trade-off: embedded and linked media in documents will no longer play), configure LibreOffice to never update links on document open so that linked media is not fetched during load (trade-off: legitimate linked content becomes stale and requires manual refresh), open untrusted or unsolicited documents in a restricted or disposable environment, and apply host egress filtering to block desktop applications from reaching loopback, RFC1918 internal networks, and link-local metadata endpoints (trade-off: this can break intentional remote media links and other legitimate outbound fetches). Because the flaw requires the user to open the document and allow linked-media/link updates, user awareness measures such as not confirming link updates for untrusted documents reduce exposure but are not a substitute for patching; no public exploit code or confirmed active exploitation was identified at time of analysis.

Technical ContextAI · show details

LibreOffice supports linking (rather than embedding) audio and video files from documents, and on Linux it delegates playback to GStreamer. The root cause is CWE-918 (Server-Side Request Forgery): the HLS playlist handling allowed a media reference to name further resources - local files and remote/internal URLs - and GStreamer dereferenced them while the document loaded, with the fetched contents able to be incorporated into the document. In effect, the document format acted as an SSRF conduit, letting an attacker-controlled playlist cause the application to read resources outside the intended media scope and reflect them back to the attacker's document. The assessed vector's scope change (S:C) reflects that the vulnerable component's behavior impacts resources beyond LibreOffice's own security authority, namely local filesystem content and services reachable from the victim host. Fixed versions stop following playlists that name further resources and place linked media under link-update control, closing the automatic-fetch path. The affected CPE is cpe:2.3:a:the_document_foundation:libreoffice:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*, i.e., LibreOffice builds preceding the fixed releases; the CVSS 4.0 vector supplied (CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:P/VC:H/VI:N/VA:N/SC:H/SI:N/SA:N) agrees on local attack vector, high confidentiality impact and changed subsequent-system scope, while the independent CVSS 3.1 assessment characterizes the same weakness as AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:H/I:N/A:N.

DescriptionCVE.org

LibreOffice can link to audio and video files from a document, and on Linux it plays them with GStreamer. A linked media file could be an HLS playlist that made GStreamer read the local files and remote URLs it listed while the document loaded, and their contents could end up in the document. In fixed versions LibreOffice does not follow playlists that name further resources, and linked media is under link update control.
