Description

The WordCamp Talks plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to CSV Injection in versions up to, and including, 1.0.0 Beta2 via the wct_generate_csv_content() function. This allows authenticated attackers, with contributor-level permissions and above, to embed untrusted input into exported CSV files, which can result in code execution when these files are downloaded and opened on a local system with a vulnerable configuration.
