SB/BadBunny-A, a harmless

OpenOffice.org has the security team. If you find ones like the budbunny, please contact our security team and send one to the team.

"SB/BadBunny-A, a harmless little bunny at least until you kick it!" said Mate Temmermann, our security expert, in his blog.

Sure Openoffice.org has a macro language with access to local resources, but "nothing bad can happen to you as long as you don't allow the macros to run." he said.

"Users shouldn't run macros from unknown sources, same like they shouldn't run any programs or other scripts from unknown sources." This is the message he repeats, and we, the OpenOffice.org Community, repeat.

On May 23rd the Community issued comments "About Security, BadBunny, and Macros" based on the information available so far.

Repeat.
"The OpenOffice.org community repeats the consistent message from security experts that users should never accept files from unknown sources. For any security issue, please visit OpenOffice.org's Security Team page."

Thank you.
