Detection & IOCsextracted from sources · hover to see the quote
otherxlink:href=file://192.168.0.2/test.jpg within an office:document-content element in a .odt XML document↗
- →Detect .odt files containing an xlink:href attribute pointing to a UNC/SMB file:// path (e.g., file://[IP]/[resource]) inside the content.xml of the archive, which triggers automatic SMB connection initiation on document open. ↗
- →Inspect .odt/.odf ZIP archives for a content.xml containing draw:object or draw:image elements with xlink:href values referencing remote file:// or http:// URIs — this is the payload delivery mechanism for CVE-2018-10583. ↗
- →Monitor outbound SMB (TCP 445/139) connections originating from LibreOffice or OpenOffice processes immediately after a document is opened — this indicates exploitation of the automatic SMB connection initiation vulnerability. ↗
- →Alert on LibreOffice/OpenOffice processes spawning network connections to external IPs, particularly over SMB ports, as the exploit leaks NetNTLM credentials via forced SMB authentication. ↗
- ·The vulnerability affects LibreOffice 6.0.3 and Apache OpenOffice Writer 4.1.5 specifically; Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 is listed as not affected, and RHEL 6 is 'Will not fix'. ↗
- ·Debian (bookworm, bullseye, forky, sid, trixie) still lists CVE-2018-10583 as open — patching status should be verified per distribution before assuming coverage. ↗
- ·The exploit requires user interaction — a user must be tricked into opening the specially crafted document for the SMB connection to be automatically initiated. ↗
