Security readout for executives and security teams
Plain-English summary
SuiteCRM through 7.11.13 can include unsafe registration-field content in downloaded import templates for Accounts, Contacts, Opportunities, and Leads. The main business risk is a staff member opening a generated CSV/template in spreadsheet software and triggering unintended spreadsheet behavior.
Executive priority
Prioritize if SuiteCRM handles externally supplied lead/contact data or if staff regularly open exported templates in spreadsheet tools. With no KEV or CVSS in the bundle, treat this as a targeted workflow risk rather than confirmed emergency exploitation.
Technical view
CVE-2020-15301 is a CSV injection issue in SuiteCRM through 7.11.13. Registration fields in the Accounts, Contacts, Opportunities, and Leads modules are mishandled during the Download Import File Template operation. The source bundle does not provide CVSS, CWE, patch version, or exploit details.
Likely exposure
Organizations running SuiteCRM 7.11.13 or earlier may be exposed if users can populate the affected module fields and staff download/open import templates from those modules.
Exploitation context
The CVE is not listed as CISA KEV in the provided bundle, and no cited source states active exploitation. Practical risk likely depends on attacker-controlled CRM field content reaching a CSV/template that a user opens in spreadsheet software.
Researcher notes
Evidence is limited to the CVE description and advisory reference. The bundle identifies affected modules and operation, but not authentication requirements, fixed release, CVSS score, CWE, payload mechanics, or exploitation in the wild.
Mitigation direction
- Check SuiteCRM vendor guidance and release notes for a fixed version.
- Restrict who can create or edit affected CRM records.
- Limit access to Download Import File Template where operationally feasible.
- Treat exported CSV/template files as untrusted before opening.
- Review affected fields for spreadsheet-formula-like content before export.
Validation and detection
- Inventory SuiteCRM deployments and confirm exact versions.
- Check whether any instance runs version 7.11.13 or earlier.
- Review permissions for Accounts, Contacts, Opportunities, and Leads data entry.
- Review who can download import templates from affected modules.
- Confirm remediation against vendor guidance when available.
