8.0 highCVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:HCVE-2023-5527
High (8.0) in businessdirectoryplugin business directory. EPSS 0.5% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
The Business Directory Plugin plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to CSV Injection in versions up to, and including, 6.4.3 via the class-csv-exporter.php file. This allows authenticated attackers, with author-level permissions and above, to embed untrusted input into CSV files exported by administrators, which can result in code execution when these files are downloaded and opened on a local system with a vulnerable configuration.
