CVE-2024-9102
phpLDAPadmin: Improper Neutralization of Formula Elements
02 Description
phpLDAPadmin: Improper Neutralization of Formula Elements
03 Exploitation and scoring
- Exploitation
- Assessed, none found. CISA's assessment recorded neither public exploit code nor evidence of exploitation when it was made.
- SSVC decision
- ExploitationnoneCISA recorded no public exploit code and no evidence of exploitation.
- AutomatablenoAt least one step from reconnaissance to exploitation cannot be reliably automated.
- Technical ImpactpartialSuccessful exploitation gives limited control of the vulnerable component.
- EPSS probability
- 0.41% probability of exploitation activity in the next 30 days.
- EPSS percentile
- Equal to or higher than the score of 35.9% of scored records. A rank, not a probability.
- NVD base score
- 5.0 (CVSS v4.0), scored by the NVD independently of the CNA.
- NVD CVSS vector
- CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:P/PR:L/UI:N/VC:L/VI:L/VA:L/SC:H/SI:H/SA:L/E:X/CR:X/IR:X/AR:X/MAV:X/MAC:X/MAT:X/MPR:X/MUI:X/MVC:X/MVI:X/MVA:X/MSC:X/MSI:X/MSA:X/S:X/AU:X/R:X/V:X/RE:X/U:X
- NVD analysis status
- Deferred. NVD last modified this record on 2026-06-17.
- Red Hat severity
- No Red Hat rating. Red Hat rates the CVEs that affect its products.
Exploit-prediction scores from FIRST. Independent scoring and analysis status from the NVD. Vendor severity from Red Hat. Exploitation assessment and catalog membership from CISA.

07 Remediation
It is recommended that control characters at the beginning of character strings in cells are filtered before CSV export in order to avoid formula injection. As such functions always start with one of the following characters, these can be filtered specifically: - Equal (=) - Plus (+) - Minus (-) - At (@) - Tab (0x09) - Carriage return (0x0D) When filtering these special characters, care should be taken to ensure that not only the special characters in the first position are removed (for example in +-@=cmd|' /C calc.exe'!'A1'). Instead, all leading special characters up to the first legitimate character should be removed. As an alternative to the above-mentioned filtering, OWASP suggests also another sanitization method which includes three steps ( https://owasp.org/www-community/attacks/CSV_Injection ).
