*Every* basic macro is a security problem per se, because it always has
full access to the system. There is no difference here between VB and
OOo Basic.

Knowing this it should be clear that avoiding security problems caused
by macros means that you have to prevent macros you don't know or macros
you don't trust from becoming executed automatically.

Usually these problems are caused by macros attached to documents, so
the application needs to make the user aware of macros in loaded
documents and offer means for disabling them to the user.

This is done in comparable ways in MS Office and OOo.

Best regards,
Mathias
