WordPress Plugin Vulnerabilities

Export Users to CSV <= 1.4.2 - CSV Injection

Description

An attacker can register themselves as a subscriber in a WordPress website and provide malicious payloads (formula) into the user account details field. When an authenticated admin uses the Export Users to CSV plugin to export the details of all the users into a CSV file and open it, the payload gets executed and can lead to unintended actions such as redirections to unknown/harmful websites.
