Dirsearch 0.4.1 contains a CSV injection vulnerability when using the –csv-report flag that allows attackers to inject formulas through redirected endpoints. Attackers can craft malicious server redirects with comma-separated paths containing Excel formulas to manipulate the generated CSV report.

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.
