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-2023-41798/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-41798/index.md)","id":"CVE-2023-41798","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-41798/index.md","name":"CVE-2023-41798","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-gpjf-v934-73g5"],"analysis":{"component_type":"cms_plugin","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"WordPress plugin","requires_auth":"high_privilege","summary":"An attacker can inject malicious formulas into CSV exports, potentially leading to code execution when the file is opened in spreadsheet software.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"other"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Patchstack","cpe":[{"product":"directorist","vendor":"wpwax"}],"cvss":{"score":5.1,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:H/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:L","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 wpWax Directorist – WordPress Business Directory Plugin with Classified Ads Listing.This issue affects Directorist – WordPress Business Directory Plugin with Classified Ads Listings: from n/a through 7.7.1.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":false,"headline":"WordPress Directorist Plugin \u003c= 7.7.1 is vulnerable to CSV Injection","id":"CVE-2023-41798","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"other","year":"2023"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"WordPress UniConsent Cookie Consent CMP for GDPR / CCPA Plugin \u003c= 1.4.2 is vulnerable to Cross Site Scripting (XSS)","id":"CVE-2023-41800"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"WordPress Locations Plugin \u003c= 4.0 is vulnerable to Cross Site Scripting (XSS)","id":"CVE-2023-41797"},"products":["Directorist – WordPress Business Directory Plugin with Classified Ads Listings"],"published":"2023-11-07","related":[{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Directorist \u003c= 7.5.4 - Authenticated (Subscriber+) Arbitrary User Password Reset to Privilege Escalation","id":"CVE-2023-1888","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-06-09"},{"cvss_score":8.1,"headline":"Auth bypass in Directorist: AI-Powered Business Directory, Listings \u0026 Classified Ads","id":"CVE-2025-1570","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-02-28"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"Directorist – Business Directory Plugin \u003c 7.0.6.2 - CSRF to Remote File Upload","id":"CVE-2021-24981","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-12-21"},{"cvss_score":6.5,"headline":"Missing authorization in Directorist: AI-Powered Business Directory, Listings \u0026 Classified Ads","id":"CVE-2023-1889","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-06-09"},{"cvss_score":6.5,"headline":"Directorist \u003c 7.4.4 - Subscriber+ Sensitive Information Disclosure","id":"CVE-2022-3961","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-12-19"},{"cvss_score":6.5,"headline":"Directorist \u003c 7.4.2.2 - Subscriber+ Arbitrary User Password Update via IDOR","id":"CVE-2022-3930","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-12-12"},{"cvss_score":5.3,"headline":"Information disclosure in Directorist: AI-Powered Business Directory, Listings \u0026 Classified Ads","id":"CVE-2024-12041","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-02-01"}],"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":["wpWax"]},"summary":"An attacker can inject malicious formulas into CSV exports, potentially leading to code execution when the file is opened in spreadsheet software.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-41798/"}
