Command execution via unsanitized DDE formulas
Published Nov 17, 2023 · Updated Sep 29, 2025
CSV injection in Corebos 8.0 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to execute commands when an administrator opens an exported file. The CSV export path in index.php writes attacker-controlled Lead first-name and last-name values beginning with DDE formulas without neutralizing them. Low-privileged access can plant the payload, but execution requires an administrator to export the Leads table and open the CSV in a spreadsheet that processes DDE formulas.
