Description

The WordPress Comments Import & Export plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to CSV Injection in versions up to, and including, 2.0.4 via the form fields. This allows unauthenticated 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.
