Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to CSV Injection via the XLSX export process. An attacker can execute arbitrary formulas on the system of a user who opens the exported file by creating a tag with a formula string as its name and assigning it to a timesheet, which is then included unsanitized in the export.
