A stored CSV Injection vulnerability was reported in Lenovo XClarity Administrator (LXCA) versions prior to 2.5.0 that could allow an administrative user to store malformed data in LXCA Jobs and Event Log data, that could result in crafted formulas stored in an exported CSV file. The crafted formula is not executed on LXCA itself.

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.
