CVE-2022-3026 (GCVE-0-2022-3026)

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2022-09-06 17:19 – Updated: 2026-04-08 17:02

Title
WP Users Exporter <= 1.4.2 - CSV Injection
Summary
The WP Users Exporter plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to CSV Injection in versions up to, and including, 1.4.2 via the 'Export Users' functionality. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, such as a subscriber, to add untrusted input into profile information like First Names that will embed into the exported CSV file triggered by an administrator and can result in code execution when these files are downloaded and opened on a local system with a vulnerable configuration.

Mitigation

Phase: Implementation

Description:

  • When generating CSV output, ensure that formula-sensitive metacharacters are effectively escaped or removed from all data before storage in the resultant CSV. Risky characters include '=' (equal), '+' (plus), '-' (minus), and '@' (at).
Mitigation

Phase: Implementation

Description:

  • If a field starts with a formula character, prepend it with a ' (single apostrophe), which prevents Excel from executing the formula.
Mitigation

Phase: Architecture and Design

Description:

  • Certain implementations of spreadsheet software might disallow formulas from executing if the file is untrusted, or if the file is not authored by the current user.
