Descriptions

Auth. (subscriber+) CSV Injection vulnerability in ProfileGrid plugin <= 5.1.6 on WordPress.

Vulnerabilidad de inyección CSV autenticada (con permisos de suscriptor o superiores) en el complemento ProfileGrid en Wordpress en versiones <= 5.1.6.

The ProfileGrid plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to CSV Injection in versions up to, and including, 5.1.6, via the 'pm_get_csv_single_user_row' function. This allows subscriber-level attackers to embed untrusted input into exported CSV files, which can result in code execution when these files are downloaded and opened on a local system with a vulnerable configuration.
