Summary

CVE-2025-55745 is a low-severity Improper Neutralization of Formula Elements in a CSV File (CWE-1236) vulnerability in Webkul Unopim. Its CVSS base score is 2.5 (Low).

Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique User Execution (T1204); ranked at the 46th percentile by exploit likelihood (below the median); it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog; a public proof-of-concept is referenced.

The strongest mitigations our analysis identified map to SI-15 (Information Output Filtering) — see the control section below for these in your framework.

Synthesised by an AI model from the NVD description and linked references — a reading aid, not an authoritative source.

UnoPim, an open-source Product Information Management (PIM) system built on the Laravel framework, contains a CSV injection vulnerability, also known as formula injection, in its Quick Export feature. This affects versions 0.3.0 and prior. The flaw allows attackers to inject malicious content into exported CSV files, which spreadsheet applications like Microsoft Excel may interpret as formulas or commands upon opening.

Unauthenticated attackers (PR:N) with network access can exploit this vulnerability by crafting malicious payloads that get embedded in the CSV exports. Victims who download and open these files in compatible spreadsheet software, and interact with potentially dangerous content (UI:R), risk arbitrary code execution on their local device. Successful exploitation enables remote code execution, such as establishing a reverse shell, with high confidentiality, integrity, and availability impacts (CVSS 8.8).

The UnoPim security advisory and associated GitHub commit recommend upgrading to version 0.3.1 or later as the primary mitigation. The patch addresses the injection issue in the Quick Export functionality, preventing malicious formula execution in exported files.

content into exported CSV files. When the CSV file is opened in spreadsheet applications such as Microsoft Excel, the malicious input may be interpreted as a formula or command, potentially resulting in the execution of arbitrary code on the victim's device. Successful exploitation can lead to remote code execution, including the establishment of a reverse shell. Users are advised to upgrade to version 0.3.1 or later.

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

SI-15 Information Output Filtering good match

Output filtering/validation directly stops unneutralized formula elements from being written into CSV files.

Derived directly from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry via our AI-authored CWE→CSF cross-walk (authority under review) — links open the control.

PR.PS-06 mostly match
prevents

Secure SDLC practices directly require output neutralization for untrusted CSV content to block formula injection.

Derived directly from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry via our AI-authored CWE→ISO cross-walk (authority under review) — links open the control.

A.8.29 Security testing in development and acceptance mostly match
finds

Security testing in development can detect formula injection but does not itself implement the mitigation.

A.8.25 Secure development life cycle partial match
prevents

Secure SDLC mandates input validation and output encoding that directly prevents formula injection in CSV exports.

A.8.26 Application security requirements partial match
prevents

Application security requirements include rules for safe CSV generation and handling of untrusted data.

A.8.27 Secure system architecture and engineering principles partial match
prevents

Secure architecture principles encourage safe data export design but do not specifically address CSV formula neutralization.

A.8.28 Secure coding partial match
prevents

Secure coding standards explicitly require neutralization of special characters when writing CSV files.
