Description
OpenPanel through 2.3.0 contains a CSV formula injection vulnerability that allows unauthenticated attackers to embed spreadsheet formulas by supplying crafted profile IDs to the /track endpoint. Attackers can send tracking events with profile IDs like =HYPERLINK(...) matching a cohort, so exported cohort CSVs execute formulas that exfiltrate adjacent cell data.

AI Analysis

Impact

OpenPanel versions up to 2.3.0 allow an attacker who can hit the /track endpoint to inject spreadsheet formulas by crafting profile IDs such as =HYPERLINK(...). When the affected system later exports a cohort to a CSV file, the injected formulas are executed in the spreadsheet client, causing the attacker to read the values of adjacent cells and thereby exfiltrate confidential data. The weakness is classified as CWE-1236, a formula injection flaw that compromises integrity and confidentiality of exported data.

Affected Systems

The affected product is Openpanel, maintained by Openpanel‑dev, with all releases up to and including version 2.3.0 vulnerable. There is currently no documented higher‑than‑2.3.0 version in the data set, so any installation of Openpanel 1.x through 2.3.0 is susceptible.

Risk and Exploitability

The published CVSS score of 2.3 indicates low overall risk; however, the vulnerability is exploitable by unauthenticated users who can send tracking events. The absence of an EPSS score and a KEV listing reduces immediate threat perception, yet the technique still allows a malicious actor to ingest sensitive data from exported CSVs. Exploitation requires the attacker to create a tracking event with a specially crafted profile ID and subsequently trigger the cohort CSV export. Successful exploitation results in data leakage but does not provide remote code execution or system compromise beyond the exported file.

Remediation

No solution or workaround provided in the CVE record.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade Openpanel to the latest version after 2.3.0 (or apply the vendor’s patch if available).
  • Restrict access to the /track endpoint by requiring authentication or limiting IP ranges to trusted hosts.
  • Validate and sanitize the profile_identifier field on the /track endpoint to disallow spreadsheet formula syntax before storing for export.
