A vulnerability was found in Document Foundation LibreOffice up to 26.2.4. It has been rated as critical. Affected by this issue is some unknown processing of the component Calc. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a path traversal vulnerability. Using CWE to declare the problem leads to CWE-22.
