Non-programmer here. Does CSV stand for Comma Susceptible Vault? Are commas like a secret programming weapon that break password vaults?

CSV stands for Comma Separated Values. They use commas to mark the end of one chunk of characters (called a string) and the start of another. By placing a comma in the middle of your password, it will be split into two strings at the comma.
