CVE-2024-45060
PHPSpreadsheet is a pure PHP library for reading and writing spreadsheet files. One of the sample scripts in PhpSpreadsheet is susceptible to a cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability due to improper handling of input where a number is expected leading to formula injection. The code in in `45_Quadratic_equation_solver.php` concatenates the user supplied parameters directly into spreadsheet formulas. This allows an attacker to take control over the formula and output unsanitized data into the page, resulting in JavaScript execution. This issue has been addressed in release versions 1.29.2, 2.1.1, and 2.3.0. All users are advised to upgrade. There are no known workarounds for this vulnerability.

Uno de los scripts de muestra de PhpSpreadsheet es susceptible a una vulnerabilidad de cross-site scripting (XSS) debido a un manejo inadecuado de la entrada donde se espera un número, lo que lleva a la inyección de fórmulas. El código en `45_Quadratic_equation_solver.php` concatena los parámetros suministrados por el usuario directamente en fórmulas de hojas de cálculo. Esto permite que un atacante tome el control de la fórmula y muestre datos no saneados en la página, lo que resulta en la ejecución de JavaScript.
