CVE-2026-50179
Full vulnerability record from the local CVENow database.
Description
Actual is a local-first personal finance tool. Prior to 26.6.0, exportToCSV and exportQueryToCSV in packages/loot-core/src/server/transactions/export/export-to-csv.ts pass user-controlled Payee, Notes, Account, and Category strings to csv-stringify with no cast callback and no formula-prefix neutralization. Strings that begin with equals sign, plus, minus, at sign, tab, or carriage return survive verbatim into the exported CSV, and when a recipient opens the file in Excel, LibreOffice Calc, or Google Sheets, the strings are interpreted as formulas, enabling transaction data exfiltration and attacker-chosen spreadsheet display values. This issue is fixed in version 26.6.0.

"value": "Actual es una herramienta de finanzas personales ’local-first’. Antes de la versión 26.6.0, las funciones exportToCSV y exportQueryToCSV en packages/loot-core/src/server/transactions/export/export-to-csv.ts pasan cadenas controladas por el usuario (Beneficiario, Notas, Cuenta y Categoría) a csv-stringify sin una función de devolución de llamada de conversión (’cast callback’) y sin neutralización de prefijos de fórmula. Las cadenas que comienzan con un signo igual, más, menos, arroba, tabulador o retorno de carro sobreviven textualmente en el CSV exportado, y cuando un destinatario abre el archivo en Excel, LibreOffice Calc o Google Sheets, las cadenas se interpretan como fórmulas, lo que permite la exfiltración de datos de transacciones y valores de visualización de hoja de cálculo elegidos por el atacante. Este problema se solucionó en la versión 26.6.0."
