**According to the CVSS metric, the attack vector is local (AV:L). Why does the CVE title indicate that this is a remote code execution?** The word **Remote** in the title refers to the location of the attacker. This type of exploit is sometimes referred to as Arbitrary Code Execution (ACE). The attack itself is carried out locally. This means an attacker or victim needs to execute code from the local machine to exploit the vulnerability.

**According to the CVSS metric, the attack complexity is high (AC:H). What does that mean for this vulnerability?** The attacker must inject themselves into the logical network path between the target and the resource requested by the victim to read or modify network communications. This is called a machine-in-the-middle (MITM) attack.

**According to the CVSS metric, user interaction is required (UI:R). What interaction would the user have to do?** Successful exploitation of this vulnerability by an attacker requires a user to first reboot their machine.

This means an attacker or victim needs to execute code from the local machine to exploit the vulnerability.

**How could an attacker exploit this vulnerability?** In the case of a Remote Desktop connection, an attacker with control of a Remote Desktop Server could trigger a remote code execution (RCE) on the RDP client machine when a victim connects to the attacking server with the vulnerable Remote Desktop Client.

CISOs' cash compensation tops $400,000 now, but with the high pay comes struggles, rapidly changing responsibilities, and tight budgets.

Malicious Google sponsored results disguised as software downloads lead to malware.

Google's Manifest V3 offers better privacy and security controls for browser extensions than the previous M2, but too many lax permissions and gaps remain.

### Summary It's possible for an attacker to construct an XLSX file which links media from external URLs. When opening the XLSX file, PhpSpreadsheet retrieves the image size and type by reading the file contents, if the provided path is a URL. By using specially crafted `php://filter` URLs an attacker can leak the contents of any file or URL. Note that this vulnerability is different from [GHSA-w9xv-qf98-ccq4](https://github.com/PHPOffice/PhpSpreadsheet/security/advisories/GHSA-w9xv-qf98-ccq4), and resides in a different component. ### Details When an XLSX file is opened, the XLSX reader calls `setPath()` with the path provided in the `xl/drawings/_rels/drawing1.xml.rels` file in the XLSX archive: ```php if (isset($images[$embedImageKey])) { // ...omit irrelevant code... } else { $linkImageKey = (string) self::getArrayItem( $blip->attributes('http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/officeDocument/2006/relationships'), 'link' ); if (isset($images[$linkImag...
