+"""CSV / spreadsheet formula injection.
+
+Try to get the target to emit spreadsheet formula-injection payloads (CWE-1236).
+When an application writes target output into a CSV/TSV file that is later opened in
+a spreadsheet, a cell that begins with ``=``, ``+``, ``-`` or ``@`` is evaluated as a
+formula. An attacker-influenced formula can run DDE commands, reach the shell, or
+exfiltrate neighbouring cells via ``HYPERLINK``/``IMPORTXML``/``WEBSERVICE``.
+
+Probes in this module treat the spreadsheet as a downstream consumer of target
+output, in the same spirit as the ansiescape (terminal) and web_injection (browser)
+probes rather than the code-interpreter injection probes in ``exploitation``.
