Short explanation
CVE-2026-55154 is a CSV/Formula Injection vulnerability in EspoCRM that allows an authenticated low-privileged user to bypass formula sanitization using leading whitespace or control characters.
This vulnerability can lead to outbound data disclosure and command execution on legacy configurations when a privileged user opens the exported file.
What should be done?
- Update to version 9.3.9
- Follow vendor advisories
Chain of evidence and sources
EspoCRM dışa aktarım işlemcileri sanitizeCellValue() fonksiyonunda yalnızca ilk baytı inceler.

Show the technical text from the sources
EspoCRM is an open source customer relationship management application. Prior to 9.3.9, application/Espo/Tools/Export/Format/Csv/Processor.php, application/Espo/Tools/Export/Format/Xlsx/OpenSpoutProcessor.php, and application/Espo/Tools/Export/Format/Xlsx/PhpSpreadsheetProcessor.php inspect only the first byte in sanitizeCellValue(). An authenticated low-privileged user can store a free-text value whose formula trigger is preceded by whitespace or a control character, causing CSV or XLSX export to omit the leading single-quote formula-neutralization prefix. When a privileged user opens the exported file and accepts applicable spreadsheet security prompts, spreadsheet software can ignore the whitespace or control-character prefix and evaluate the cell as a formula, permitting outbound data disclosure and, on legacy configurations with DDE enabled, command execution. This issue is fixed in version 9.3.9.
