What is CVE-2019-16184?

A security flaw was identified in Limesurvey versions prior to 3.17.14, which exposes the platform to a CSV injection attack. This vulnerability permits malicious survey participants to inject arbitrary commands into their survey responses. These injected commands are then included in export files, enabling attackers to manipulate the data output and potentially execute harmful code when the CSV file is opened in spreadsheet applications. Proper validation and sanitization of input data are essential to mitigate this risk and ensure the integrity of survey data.
