CVE-2017-18049

EIP tracks 1 public exploit for CVE-2017-18049. PoCs published by Ishaq Mohammed.

AI-analyzed exploit summary This exploit demonstrates a CSV Excel Macro Injection vulnerability in SilverStripe CMS 3.6.2. By injecting a malicious payload into a user profile field, an attacker can generate a CSV file that, when opened in a spreadsheet application like Microsoft Excel, may execute arbitrary commands.

In the CSV export feature of SilverStripe before 3.5.6, 3.6.x before 3.6.3, and 4.x before 4.0.1, it's possible for the output to contain macros and scripts, which may be executed if imported without sanitization into common software (including Microsoft Excel). For example, the CSV data may contain untrusted user input from the "First Name" field of a user's /myprofile page.
