Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2022-44738 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Patrick Robrecht Posts and Users Stats. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-44738/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-44738/index.md)","id":"CVE-2022-44738","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-44738/index.md","name":"CVE-2022-44738","record":{"aliases":[],"analysis":{"component_type":"cms_plugin","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"WordPress plugin","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Attackers can inject malicious formulas into CSV exports, potentially executing code when the file is opened in spreadsheet software.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"code_injection"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Patchstack","cpe":[{"product":"posts_and_users_stats","vendor":"patrickrobrecht"}],"cvss":{"score":5.8,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:L/UI:R/S:C/C:N/I:H/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-1236","name":"Improper Neutralization of Formula Elements in a CSV File"}],"description":"Improper Neutralization of Formula Elements in a CSV File vulnerability in Patrick Robrecht Posts and Users Stats.This issue affects Posts and Users Stats: from n/a through 1.1.3.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"WordPress Posts and Users Stats Plugin \u003c= 1.1.3 is vulnerable to CSV Injection","id":"CVE-2022-44738","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"code_injection","year":"2022"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"WordPress Quick Restaurant Reservations Plugin \u003c= 1.5.4 is vulnerable to Cross Site Request Forgery (CSRF)","id":"CVE-2022-44739"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"WordPress All In One WP Security plugin \u003c= 5.1.0 - Multiple Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) vulnerabilities","id":"CVE-2022-44737"},"products":["Posts and Users Stats"],"published":"2023-11-07","related":[],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"no","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"total"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-04-28","vendors":["Patrick Robrecht"]},"summary":"Attackers can inject malicious formulas into CSV exports, potentially executing code when the file is opened in spreadsheet software.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-44738/"}
