CVE-2015-5349: Apache Directory Studio command injection vulnerability

Severity: Moderate

Vendor: The Apache Software Foundation

Versions Affected:
- Apache LDAP Studio 0.6.0 to 0.8.1
- Apache Directory Studio 1.0.0 to 2.0.0-M9

Description:
The CSV export didn’t escape the fields properly. Malicious users can
put specially crafted values into the LDAP server. When a user exports
that data into CSV formatted file, and subsequently opens it with a
spreadsheet application, the data is interpreted as a formula and executed.

Mitigation:
Users should upgrade to Apache Directory Studio 2.0.0-M10
