The TablePress plugin 1.9.2 for WordPress allows tablepress[data] CSV injection by Editor users. Note: The vendor disputes this issue and argues that this responsibility lies with the application that opens the CSV file and not TablePress.

Weakness

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.
