Bug ID: 93389
Summary: Document recovery strips encryption
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 4.4.5.2 release
Hardware: Other
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: major
Priority: medium
Component: filters and storage
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
When recovering an encrypted document, LibreOffice asks for the password to
decrypt the original, then "forgets" that is encrypted.
Subsequently saving the document saves it without encryption, without warning.
This can very easily lead to silent stripping of the password on the recovered
document, which will go un-noticed unless/until the user subsequently opens the
document and also realises that they were not asked for a password.
I'm assuming that when LO opens an encrypted document it caches the password
for subsequent saving; in this case it should be possible to also cache at the
point of opening/decrypting the original during recovery.
Given that this results in silent loss of encryption I have set the issue
severity to major.
