Mite for Perl generates code with an untrusted search path
vulnerability

Description
-----------
Mite for Perl before 0.013000 generates code with the current working
directory ('.') added to the @INC path similar to CVE-2016-1238.

If an attacker can place a malicious file in current working directory,
it may be
loaded instead of the intended file, potentially leading to arbitrary
code execution.

This affects the Mite distribution itself, and other distributions that
contain code generated by Mite.

Problem types
-------------
CWE-427 Uncontrolled Search Path Element

Impacts
-------
CAPEC-38 Leveraging/Manipulating Configuration File Search Paths

Mitigations
-----------
Version 0.013000 of Mite was released to address the issue. Users
should update to the latest version, and regenerate the Mite files for
any projects using the distribution.
