Summary
Thelia before 3.1.2 and from 3.2.0 before 3.2.1 contains a CSV formula injection flaw (CWE-1236) in its exports. An unauthenticated visitor can submit names, addresses or phone values beginning with =, +, - or @ through registration, checkout or newsletter fields, and the export writes them verbatim, so spreadsheet formulas run when an administrator opens the file.
