Advisory

Source description from Wordfence Intelligence, credited to Nhật Nam.

The Affiliates Manager plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to CSV Injection in versions up to, and including, 2.9.13. This allows [authentication level?] attackers 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.
