Technical Details

Vulnerability Mechanism & Technical Analysis

This vulnerability is classified under CWE-1236: Improper Neutralization of Formula Elements in a CSV File, where the product saves user-provided information into a comma-separated value (csv) file, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes special elements that could be interpreted as a command when the file is opened by a spreadsheet product. In Pimcore/customer management framework bundle, software state validation or input boundaries are circumvented during processing. Review the official source advisory statement below for specific affected components, classes, and reproduction details.

Source Advisory Statement

### Impact The pimcore application is vulnerable to Formula Injection/CSV Injection via the Firstname, Lastname, Street, Zip & City input fields. These vulnerabilities allow unauthenticated attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted excel file. Successful exploitation can lead to impacts such as client-sided command injection, code execution, or remote ex-filtration of contained confidential data. ### Patches Update to version 3.3.9 or apply this patch manually https://github.com/pimcore/customer-data-framework/commit/4e0105c3a78d20686a0c010faef27d2297b98803.patch ### Workarounds Apply patch https://github.com/pimcore/customer-data-framework/commit/4e0105c3a78d20686a0c010faef27d2297b98803.patch manually. ### References https://huntr.dev/bounties/821ff465-4754-42d1-9376-813c17f16a01/
