Summary
### Impact Datasets exported to file (e.g. CSV / XLS) are not sufficiently sanitized, to neutralize potential formula injection ### Patches - The issue is addressed in the upcoming 0.8.0 release - This fix will also be back-ported to the 0.7.x branch, applied to the 0.7.2 release ### Workarounds Users exporting untrusted data should open the files in safe mode (e.g. in Microsoft Excel). ### References - https://huntr.dev/bounties/e57c36e7-fa39-435f-944a-3a52ee066f73/ - https://owasp.org/www-community/attacks/CSV_Injection ### For more information If you have any questions or comments about this advisory: * Open an issue in [github](http://github.com/inventree/inventree) * Email us at [[email protected]](mailto:[email protected])
