CyberRota Analysis
AI-GeneratedApache Syncope versions 3.0.0-M0 to 3.0.16, 4.0.0-M0 to 4.0.7, and 4.1.0-M0 to 4.1.2 are vulnerable to an improper encoding or escaping of output vulnerability, allowing authenticated users to embed spreadsheet formula payloads in their attributes. When these users are included in a CSV export, the formula can execute upon opening the file in a spreadsheet application, potentially leading to data manipulation or unauthorized actions. Organizations using affected versions should prioritize upgrading to 4.0.8 or 4.1.3 to mitigate this high-severity risk.
Original NVD Description
Improper Encoding or Escaping of Output vulnerability in Apache Syncope. Authenticated users can store a spreadsheet formula payload in one of their own plain attributes. When such users are included in a CSV export and the generated CSV file is opened by a spreadsheet application, the formula may be executed. This issue affects Apache Syncope: from 3.0.0-M0 through 3.0.16, from 4.0.0-M0 Through 4.0.7, from 4.1.0-M0 through 4.1.2. Users are recommended to upgrade to version 4.0.8 / 4.1.3, which fix this issue.
