CVE-2022-41675
Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.
NVD · uneditedA remote attacker with general user privilege can inject malicious code in the form content of Raiden MAILD Mail Server website. Other users export form content as CSV file can trigger arbitrary code execution and allow the attacker to perform arbitrary system operation or disrupt service on the user side.
Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.
dbcve analysis · moderate confidenceThis is a CSV injection vulnerability in Raiden MAILD Mail Server where an authenticated user with general privileges can inject malicious spreadsheet formulas (e.g., formula characters like =, +, -, @) into form content fields. When other users export this data as a CSV file and open it in spreadsheet software, the embedded formulas execute arbitrary code on the victim's system.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.
dbcve checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Confirm Raidenmaild installation and versionLocate the Raidenmaild installation directory and check the version file, or run 'maild -v' or look in the program metadata to identify the exact version numberAffected if The installed version is lower than 4.7.4 (e.g., 4.7.3, 4.6.x, etc.)
-
Identify CSV export functionalityBrowse the Raidenmaild web interface or documentation to locate any features that allow exporting form data or user submissions to CSV formatAffected if CSV export functionality exists and is accessible to authenticated users with general privileges
-
Locate form content input fieldsReview the web interface for any forms that accept user-submitted content (e.g., contact forms, message fields, note fields, custom form builders) that could be stored and later exportedAffected if The application contains form fields that accept user input and store the data for later retrieval or export
-
Test formula character filteringSubmit test data containing formula characters (=, +, -, @) into form fields and then export that data to CSV using the export feature; inspect the raw CSV output to see if characters are filtered, prefixed, or sanitizedAffected if Formula characters are NOT filtered, prefixed with a single quote, or otherwise sanitized in the exported CSV output, allowing raw formula characters to appear in the file
You are affected if Raidenmaild version is below 4.7.4 AND the application has form fields that accept user input which can be exported to CSV without proper sanitization of formula characters.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
dbcve · scoped4.7.4
Implement input validation to reject formula characters in form submissions, and sanitize/encode data during CSV export (e.g., prefix formula characters with a single quote or use proper CSV escaping) to prevent formula injection.
Raidenmaild 4.7.4 or later
- Upgrade Raiden MAILD Mail Server to version 4.7.4 or later
- After upgrading, verify the version number matches the fixed release
- Test CSV export functionality to confirm the vulnerability is patched
- Review system logs for any suspicious activity that may have occurred before patching
