Studio in Open edX Ironwood 2.5 allows CSV injection because an added cohort in Course>Instructor>Cohorts may contain a formula that is exported via the Course>Data Downloads>Reports>Download profile info feature.

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.
