Akaunting <= 2.0.9 is vulnerable to CSV injection in the Item name field, export function. Attackers can inject arbitrary code into the name parameter and perform code execution when the crafted file is opened.

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.
