Advisory
Source description from Wordfence Intelligence, credited to Adel Bouaricha.
The Import and export users and customers plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to CSV Injection in versions up to, and including, 1.20.4. This allows subscriber-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.
