Is it wrong to lie on your CV? What about to mildly exaggerate?

Legally, I don't think it is a big issue. Though if the employer I applied to actually did due diligence, I would hope they would see through what was written, and ask about it.

I don't actually think it is wrong though as long as you did not totally lie about it. Like saying you have a degree in a particular field and you know notting about it.
