who doesn't have a right also cannot define that right as required right. That way, users who are
editing documents on which required rights are enforced can be sure that they're not giving a
right to a script or object that it didn't have before. A bug in the implementation of the
enforcement of this rule means that in fact, it was possible for any user with edit right on a
document to set programming right as required right. If then a user with programming right edited
that document, the content of that document would gain programming right, allowing remote code
execution.");
