What is CVE-2019-20180?

The TablePress plugin version 1.9.2 for WordPress is susceptible to a CSV injection attack that may allow malicious users with Editor privileges to execute code within CSV files.

Users are advised to exercise caution and to implement best practices for secure file handling to mitigate potential risks.
