CVE-2023-54348: ERPGo SaaS 3.9 CSV Injection via Vendor Creation
ERPGo SaaS 3.9 contains a CSV injection vulnerability that allows authenticated attackers to execute arbitrary code by injecting formula payloads into vendor name fields. Attackers can add malicious formulas like =10+20+cmd|' /C calc'!A0 in the vendor creation form, which execute when the exported CSV file is opened in spreadsheet applications.
Security readout for executives and security teams
Plain-English summary
ERPGo SaaS 3.9 can store dangerous spreadsheet formulas in vendor names. If an authenticated user creates a malicious vendor and someone exports then opens the CSV in a spreadsheet application, the formula may run. This can put business workstations and exported data at risk.
Executive priority
Prioritize if ERPGo SaaS 3.9 is in production and CSV exports are used by finance, procurement, or operations staff. This is not confirmed as actively exploited, but public exploit information and potential workstation impact justify prompt validation and access controls.
Technical view
CVE-2023-54348 is a CWE-1236 CSV injection issue in Rajodiya ERPGo SaaS 3.9 vendor creation. Authenticated attackers can place formula content in the vendor name field. The risk materializes when exported CSV data is opened by spreadsheet software that evaluates formulas.
Likely exposure
Exposure is limited to ERPGo SaaS 3.9 deployments using vendor creation and CSV export workflows. Risk is higher where non-admin or less-trusted users can create vendors, and finance or operations staff open exports in desktop spreadsheet tools.
Exploitation context
The source bundle includes a public ExploitDB reference and VulnCheck advisory. CISA KEV is false, and no cited source confirms active exploitation. Exploitation requires authenticated access and a downstream user opening the exported CSV in a formula-capable spreadsheet application.
Researcher notes
Evidence supports affected product/version and vulnerability class, but the bundle does not provide a vendor patch version or official mitigation. Avoid assuming broader ERPGo versions are affected. Validate behavior in a nonproduction environment and track vendor or marketplace updates.
Mitigation direction
Check Rajodiya or marketplace guidance for a fixed ERPGo SaaS release or official workaround.
Restrict vendor creation and CSV export permissions to trusted roles only.
Treat ERP exports as untrusted files before opening them in spreadsheet applications.
Train staff not to open unexpected CSV exports from untrusted workflows.
Consider temporary workflow controls for vendor exports until vendor guidance is confirmed.
Validation and detection
Confirm whether ERPGo SaaS version 3.9 is deployed.
Identify users and roles allowed to create vendors and export CSV files.
Review exported vendor CSV handling in a safe test environment.
Check whether formula-like vendor names are neutralized in exports.
Review recent vendor records for suspicious formula-prefixed values.
