1. Vendor Description:

AcyMailing is a reliable Newsletter and email marketing extension for

2. Technical Description:

CSV Injection (aka Excel Macro Injection or Formula Injection) exists in
the export feature in the Acyba AcyMailing extension before 5.9.6 for
Joomla! via a value that is mishandled in a CSV export.
