Action Type Old Value New Value
Changed Description
In OctoberCMS (october/october composer package) versions from 1.0.319 and before 1.0.466,
any users with the ability to modify any data that could eventually be exported as a CSV file from the `ImportExportController`
could potentially introduce a CSV injection into the data to cause the generated CSV export file to be malicious.
This requires attackers to achieve the following before a successful attack can be completed: 

1. Have found a vulnerability in the victims spreadsheet software of choice.
2. Control data that would potentially be exported through the `ImportExportController` by a theoretical victim.
3. Convince the victim to export above data as a CSV and run it in vulnerable spreadsheet software while also bypassing any sanity checks by said software.

Issue has been patched in Build 466 (v1.0.466).
