CVE ID: CVE-2026-46740
Distribution: Mojolicious-Plugin-Statsd
Versions: through 0.04

Mojolicious::Plugin::Statsd versions through 0.04 for Perl allowed
metric injections
Description
-----------
Mojolicious::Plugin::Statsd versions through 0.04 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.
Version 0.06 changes the module from being a statsd client to using a
separate statsd client. It defaults to using a version of
Net::Statsd::Tiny that fixes a similar issue (CVE-2026-46720).
Problem types
-------------
- CWE-93 Improper Neutralization of CRLF Sequences
Solutions
---------
Upgrade to Mojolicious::Plugin::Statsd version 0.06 or later.
