CVE-2026-46720 Details
Description
Net::Statsd::Tiny versions before 0.3.8 for Perl allowed metric injections. The metric names and set values were not checked for newlines, colons or pipes. Metrics generated from untrusted sources could inject additional statsd metrics.
A vulnerability in Net::Statsd::Tiny for Perl, affecting versions prior to 0.3.8, allowed for metric injections. The library did not properly validate metric names and values, leaving room for the injection of additional StatsD metrics from untrusted sources. This oversight stemmed from a lack of checks against newline characters, colons, pipes, and control characters below ASCII 32.
Users can upgrade to Net::Statsd::Tiny version 0.3.8 or later, where this vulnerability has been addressed.
