| I made a PHP script that dynamically creates Microsoft Word .doc files. Can inserting user input into a .doc file be exploited? Is there anything I need to filter? |

What is output? "Content-Disposition:attachment"-type forced download?
Or you will save temp files or final files in web-accessible directories?
What is input? Plaintext? |

Yes.

It's the information from a registration form. |

Well, i don't see here any direct security issues. But it all depends of implementation. I mean - only attack vector, that I am able to consider right now, based on provided information, is expected user input from html form, delivered through POST request and then used for doc-file creation. This seems secure, if input data is plaintext.
But you must consider other attack vectors - local and remote file inclusions, remote code executions, variable poisoning (php issue),etc.
Without seeing source code there is no way to be sure ... |
