CVE-2026-86020

MediumCVSS 4.6
Published: Translated: NVD NIST

Summary

Part-DB prior to version 2.13.2 contains a spreadsheet formula injection vulnerability in the part import/export workflow. An authenticated user with import permission can import a CSV file containing formula-prefixed values, such as =1+1, into user-controlled part fields. When the part is later exported as an XLSX spreadsheet, Part-DB writes the value using setCellValue() without neutralizing formula characters, so the exported file may contain an executable formula that could be evaluated by another user's spreadsheet software.

Risk Assessment

Malicious formulas may execute in a spreadsheet opened by another user, potentially leading to data leakage or command execution depending on the software. However, it requires import permissions and user interaction.

Recommendation

Update Part-DB to version 2.13.2 or later. Additionally, validate imported CSV files for suspicious values starting with =, +, -, or @.

Original NVD description (English source)

Part-DB is an open source inventory management system for electronic components. Prior to version 2.13.2, Part-DB contains a spreadsheet formula injection vulnerability in the part import/export workflow. An authenticated user with permission to import parts can import a CSV file containing formula-prefixed values, such as =1+1, into user-controlled part fields. When the affected part is later exported as an XLSX spreadsheet, Part-DB writes the attacker-controlled value using PhpSpreadsheet's setCellValue() method without neutralising spreadsheet formula characters. As a result, the exported XLSX file contains an executable spreadsheet formula cell rather than a plain text value. If another user exports and opens the spreadsheet, the formula may be evaluated by their spreadsheet software. This issue has been patched in version 2.13.2.
