GHSA-7rq4-qcpw-74gq

Formula Injection in Exported Data

Quick fix

GHSA-7rq4-qcpw-74gq — inventree: upgrade to the fixed version with the command below.

pip install --upgrade 'inventree>=0.7.2'

Details

### Impact

Datasets exported to file (e.g. CSV / XLS) are not sufficiently sanitized, to neutralize potential formula injection

### Patches

- The issue is addressed in the upcoming 0.8.0 release - This fix will also be back-ported to the 0.7.x branch, applied to the 0.7.2 release

### Workarounds

Users exporting untrusted data should open the files in safe mode (e.g. in Microsoft Excel).
