Spreadsheet command execution via unneutralized CSV fields
Published Nov 7, 2023 · Updated Apr 28, 2026
CSV formula injection in Export Users Data Distinct 1.3 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to place formulas in exported files. The CSV export path writes subscriber-controlled user fields without neutralizing spreadsheet formula characters, causing crafted fields to be interpreted as formulas. Subscriber access and a privileged user opening the export in spreadsheet software are required; a successful attack executes commands on that user's computer.
