Why it matters

CVE-2026-63270 is a medium-severity vulnerability in document processing software that could allow exfiltration of sensitive information. Defenders should assess exposure, prioritize remediation, and verify affected versions. The vulnerability requires verification of specific affected versions and comprehensive impact details from official sources.

• Sensitive information exfiltration via crafted links
• Potential data breaches through document processing
• Need for verification of affected software versions
• Prioritization of remediation for exposed systems

Technical summary

The vulnerability occurs in document processing software, allowing exfiltration of sensitive information when opening documents with specially crafted links. The issue arises from incomplete checks for internal URL schemes in certain document data providers, such as XForms instance data and Calc csv and sql data providers. Fixed versions refuse URLs with internal schemes when the URL comes from the document.
