- SureForms: through 2.12.1

## Description

CSV export functionality in Brainstorm Force SureForms version, <= 2.12.1, fails to neutralize spreadsheet formula characters in user-controlled form field names before generating CSV exports, which allows a remote attacker to execute spreadsheet formulas on an administrator's workstation when the exported CSV file is opened in a vulnerable spreadsheet application.
