Hi guys,

thanks for your reply.

Maybe I'm misinterpreting something but I thought that it could be made
possible to configure CSVFormat-object when writing the CSV data in a
way that any data with possibly corrupting values (as shown on the OWASP
page) will mask the whole contents of the cell.

Thus a library such as commons-csv would be able to lower the risk for
CSV injection and not every client/customer would have to manually
create this protecting logic.

To my mind it's a simple parser for "dangerous" tokens that quotes the
given data with additional " .... as we do not need to write
functioning Excel formulas into CSV.

WDYT?

Cheers,
Phil
