The Import and export users and customers WordPress plugin before 1.20.5 does not properly escape data when exporting it via CSV files.
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.
