Analysis Summary
By tricking victims into opening an ODT (OpenDocument Text) file embedding an event embedded, it is possible to launch a directory traversal attack executing a python method from a script in any arbitrary file system location. Exploiting CVE-2018-16858, it is possible to trigger the automatic execution of a specific python library included in the suite using a hidden onmouseover event. On further analysis, researchers found out that under certain circumstances it is not only possible to specify the function you want to call inside a python script, but passing parameters is also a possibility.
