Advisory

Source description from Wordfence Intelligence, credited to White Hatter.

The WordCamp Talks plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to CSV Injection in versions up to, and including, 1.0.0 Beta2 via the wct_generate_csv_content() function. This allows authenticated attackers, with contributor-level permissions and above, 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.
