GHSA-xq9m-hmp9-fw87: wger: CSV/TSV formula injection in gym member export (first_name/last_name)

May 6, 2026

The gym member TSV export endpoint in wger writes first_name and last_name profile fields verbatim to TSV cells with no formula-prefix sanitization. Any gym member (including newly self-registered users) can pre-load a spreadsheet formula into their own profile. When a gym admin later exports the member list and opens the file in Excel, LibreOffice Calc, or Google Sheets, the formula executes in the admin’s local spreadsheet context — enabling data exfiltration and, on legacy Excel with DDE enabled, arbitrary local code execution.
