Descriptions

The Business Directory Plugin plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to CSV Injection in versions up to, and including, 6.4.3 via the class-csv-exporter.php file. This allows authenticated attackers, with author-level permissions and above, to embed untrusted input into CSV files exported by administrators, which can result in code execution when these files are downloaded and opened on a local system with a vulnerable configuration.

El complemento Business Directory Plugin para WordPress es vulnerable a la inyección CSV en versiones hasta la 6.4.3 incluida a través del archivo class-csv-exporter.php. Esto permite a atacantes autenticados, con permisos de nivel de autor y superiores, incrustar entradas no confiables en archivos CSV exportados por administradores, lo que puede resultar en la ejecución de código cuando estos archivos se descargan y abren en un sistema local con una configuración vulnerable.
