Advisory

Source description from Wordfence Intelligence, credited to Francesco Carlucci.

The WP CSV Exporter plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to CSV Injection in versions up to, and including, 1.3.6. This allows administrator-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. CVE-2022-38702 appears to be a duplicate of this vulnerability.
