The WPForms Pro WordPress plugin before 1.7.7 does not validate its form data when generating the exported CSV, which could lead to CSV injection.

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.
