Title
CSV Formula Injection Vulnerability
Summary
An Improper Neutralization of Formula Elements in a CSV File vulnerability exists in System Diagnostics Manager (SDM) of B&R Automation Runtime versions before 6.4 enabling a remote attacker to inject formula data into a generated CSV file. The exploitation of this vulnerability requires the attacker to create a malicious link. The user would need to click on this link, after which the resulting CSV file addi-tionally needs to be manually opened.
