The Affiliates Manager WordPress plugin before 2.9.14 does not validate and sanitise the affiliate data, which could allow users registering as affiliate to perform CSV injection attacks against an admin exporting the data

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.
