Writer freezes opening documents with external images created in MS Word

[kemsky]

I’m using LibreOffice to generate PDF previews for docx files.

Tested on Ubuntu 25.04, 25.10, AWS Linux 2023.
Versions from 7.x to 25.8.1.1

The problem is always the same, document contains content pasted from internet, in my case it is private information from banks either email or a web page.

Writer hangs trying to open such document.

Is there any way to debug or fix this? I can not understand why it happens.

I’ve tried safe mode - the same result, writer hangs.
