Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Command Injection. Any users with the ability to modify any data that could eventually be exported as a CSV file from the ImportExportControllercould potentially introduce a CSV injection into the data to cause the generated CSV export file to be malicious.This requires attackers to achieve the following before a successful attack can be completed:

  1. Have found a vulnerability in the victim's spreadsheet software of choice.
  2. Control data that would potentially be exported through the ImportExportController by a theoretical victim.
  3. Convince the victim to export above data as a CSV and run it in vulnerable spreadsheet software while also bypassing any sanity checks by said software.
