Advisory

Source description from Wordfence Intelligence, credited to Rio Darmawan.

The WP Cookie Notice for GDPR, CCPA & ePrivacy Consent plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to CSV Injection in versions up to, and including, 2.2.5. This allows authenticated administrators 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.
