CVE-2026-46719 Details
Description
Net::Statsd::Lite versions before 0.9.0 for Perl allowed metric injections. The metric names were not checked for newlines, colons or pipes. Metrics generated from untrusted sources could inject additional statsd metrics.
A vulnerability in Net::Statsd::Lite for Perl, affecting versions prior to 0.9.0, allowed for metric injection. The issue arose because metric names were not properly validated, enabling the injection of additional StatsD metrics from untrusted sources. Specifically, names could include newlines, colons, or pipes, which are not permitted by the StatsD protocol.
Users can upgrade to Net::Statsd::Lite version 0.9.0 or later, where this vulnerability has been addressed. The updated version is available on CPAN.
