In Anuko Time Tracker before verion 1.19.23.5325, due to not properly filtered user input a CSV export of a report could contain cells that are treated as formulas by spreadsheet software (for example, when a cell value starts with an equal sign). This is fixed in version 1.19.23.5325.

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.
