Technical Analysis
Details
The soffice binary allows passing arguments in order to listen on a host ip and port. Axel Boesenach found that the Apache UNO API that acts as a communication bridge to the soffice process
can execute shell commands through the XSystemShellExecute execute module. This exploit is useful in that exploitation comes easy through the usage of a Python library. Discovering targets running
this process are likely rare, given that the functionality exploited here is rarely used, and there is no default port that this service listens on. The effort to exploit this vulnerability was
given a higher rating due to these caveats.
