CVE-2024-3232Network attack vector

Formula execution via unsanitized CSV export

Published Jul 16, 2024 · Updated Aug 1, 2024

CSV formula injection in Tenable Identity Exposure 3.19, 3.29, and 3.42 allows remote authenticated users to plant executable formulas. Application form fields accept formula-leading content that is carried into exported CSV cells without neutralization. Administrative access is required to plant the content, and a second administrator must open the exported CSV in a spreadsheet, where the formula executes.
