        LibreOffice comes bundled with sample macros written in Python and
        allows the ability to bind program events to them.

        LibreLogo is a macro that allows a program event to execute text as Python code, allowing RCE.

        This module generates an ODT file with a dom loaded event that,
        when triggered, will execute arbitrary python code and the metasploit payload.
