CVE-2025-1080 is a high-severity Improper Input Validation (CWE-20) vulnerability in Libreoffice Libreoffice. Its CVSS base score is 7.2 (High).
Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Exploit Public-Facing Application (T1190); ranked at the 22th percentile by exploit likelihood (below the median); it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog.
The strongest mitigations our analysis identified map to SA-11 (Developer Testing and Evaluation) and SI-10 (Information Input Validation) — see the control section below for these in your framework.

Synthesised by an AI model from the NVD description and linked references — a reading aid, not an authoritative source.
CVE-2025-1080 is an improper input validation vulnerability (CWE-20) in LibreOffice's handling of the 'vnd.libreoffice.command' URI scheme, added for LibreOffice-specific browser integration alongside standard Office URI schemes for MS SharePoint. This flaw allows a specially crafted link in a browser to embed an inner URL that, when passed to LibreOffice, invokes internal macros with arbitrary arguments. The vulnerability affects LibreOffice versions from 24.8 prior to 24.8.5 and from 25.2 prior to 25.2.1, with a CVSS v3.1 base score of 7.8 (AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H).
An attacker can exploit this vulnerability locally by convincing a user to click a malicious browser link using the 'vnd.libreoffice.command' scheme, requiring user interaction but no privileges. When LibreOffice processes the link, the embedded inner URL triggers execution of internal macros with attacker-supplied arguments, potentially leading to high-impact compromise of confidentiality, integrity, and availability, such as arbitrary code execution depending on macro capabilities.
LibreOffice's security advisory (https://www.libreoffice.org/about-us/security/advisories/cve-2025-1080) documents the issue and confirms patches in versions 24.8.5 and 25.2.1, urging users to update immediately. The Debian LTS announcement (https://lists.debian.org/debian-lts-announce/2025/06/msg00002.html) addresses backported fixes for affected Debian systems.

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI
Developer testing and evaluation can discover missing input validation through analysis or test cases.
SI-10 directly requires validity checks on information inputs, structurally preventing improper or missing validation.
Requiring documented development standards and tools can embed input-validation practices into the engineering process.

Testing against a defined set of requirements and using code review plus vulnerability scanning forces validation of inputs and handling of unanticipated conditions, reducing the chance that malformed data will be accepted.
Secure-coding guidelines and mandatory security testing (including code scans) compel developers to validate and sanitize inputs at design and implementation time, lowering the incidence of malformed or malicious data reaching downstream components.
Mandating input controls that include integrity checks and input validation ensures that untrusted data is examined before use, blocking the root cause of many injection and malformed-data weaknesses.
Security-by-design principles explicitly call for data validation and sanitization at every layer, reducing the chance that malformed or malicious input will be processed without scrutiny.
Requiring language-specific secure coding standards, peer review, SAST and documented mitigation of common programming errors forces validation of all inputs before they are trusted.
Regular automated validation of system software and data content, combined with scanning of all inbound files, enforces input validation at the boundary before untrusted content is processed.
