Affected packages
• PyPI inventree: < 0.7.2 → fixed in 0.7.2
Description
Impact
Datasets exported to file (e.g. CSV / XLS) are not sufficiently sanitized, to neutralize potential formula injection
Patches
• The issue is addressed in the upcoming 0.8.0 release
• This fix will also be back-ported to the 0.7.x branch, applied to the 0.7.2 release
Workarounds
Users exporting untrusted data should open the files in safe mode (e.g. in Microsoft Excel).
