The Apache OpenOffice installer (versions prior to 4.1.3, including some branded as OpenOffice.org) for Windows contains a defective operation that allows execution of arbitrary code with elevated privileges. This requires that the location in which the installer is run has been previously poisoned by a file that impersonates a dynamic-link library that the installer depends upon.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This flaw affects Windows installers for Apache OpenOffice before 4.1.3, including older OpenOffice.org-branded releases. If someone runs the installer from a location already planted with a fake DLL, the installer can execute attacker-controlled code with elevated privileges. Exposure is most likely on Windows systems, software shares, or deployment workflows that still store or execute Apache OpenOffice installers below 4.1.3, including older OpenOffice.org installers. Treat this as a cleanup and software-distribution control issue unless vulnerable installers are actively used. Prioritize removing old installers from Windows deployment paths and user-accessible shares. Mitigation focus: Upgrade deployment packages to Apache OpenOffice 4.1.3 or later guidance from Apache.; Remove vulnerable legacy OpenOffice installers from endpoints and software shares.; Run installers only from trusted, controlled directories..
