CVE-2020-36503 describes a CSV injection vulnerability in the Connections Business Directory WordPress plugin versions prior to 9.7, affecting both the 'connections_pro' and 'connections_business_directory' products. This high-severity vulnerability (CVSS 8.0) allows an authenticated attacker to inject malicious formulas into exported CSV files, potentially leading to arbitrary code execution or data exfiltration on a user's system when the file is opened. While no active exploitation, public exploit code (Metasploit, Nuclei, ExploitDB), or significant community discussion has been observed, the potential for high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability warrants attention.
