CVE-2026-8788 Details
Description
Net::Statsd::Lite versions through 0.10.0 for Perl allowed metric injections. The values from the set_add method were not checked for newlines, colons or pipes. Metrics generated from untrusted sources could inject additional statsd metrics. Note that version 0.9.0 fixed a similar issue CVE-2026-46719 for metric names.
A vulnerability in Net::Statsd::Lite for Perl, affecting versions prior to 0.10.0, allowed for metric injections. The issue arose because the set_add method did not validate metric names against newlines, colons, or pipes. This oversight enabled the injection of additional StatsD metrics from untrusted sources.
Users can upgrade to Net::Statsd::Lite version 0.10.1 or later, where this vulnerability has been addressed. Version 0.9.0 also fixed a similar issue related to metric name validation.
