CVE-2026-63277: LibreOffice Calc remote code execution via SQL provider and JDBC connector

CVE-2026-63277 · Severity: info · Published 2026-10-05

LibreOffice Calc is a spreadsheet application used for data analysis and document processing. The application allows linking cell ranges to external data sources, with these links saved in documents. An attacker can craft a malicious document that loads a Java database driver from a remote location, enabling arbitrary code execution when the document is opened.

Technical details

LibreOffice Calc's external data-mapping feature via calcext:data-mappings with the SQL provider and JDBC connector allows loading Java database drivers from arbitrary URLs. When a document contains such a link, the Java driver is fetched and executed during document loading, requiring only that the user opens the document. The fix restricts Java class path entries to file URLs only.

Affected products

  • LibreOffice Calc versions prior to 26.2.5 and 26.8.0
