CVE-2022-47502 is a high-severity vulnerability rated 7.8/10 on the CVSS scale. Apache OpenOffice documents can contain links that call internal macros with arbitrary arguments. Several URI Schemes are defined for this purpose. Links can be activated by clicks, or by automatic document events. The execution of such links must be subject to user approval. In the affected versions of OpenOffice, approval for certain links is not requested; when activated, such links could therefore result in arbitrary script execution.. EPSS estimates a 0.96% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
