MediumCVSS 5.3Exploitation Probability (EPSS)
Low risk18th percentile - higher than 18% of all known CVEs
Summary
Net::Statsd versions before 0.13 for Perl allow metric injections. Metric names are not checked for newlines, colons, or pipes, allowing for the injection of additional metrics from untrusted sources.
Risk Assessment
Organizations may be exposed to unauthorized metric injections, potentially leading to false statistical data and monitoring issues.
Recommendation
It is recommended to upgrade to Net::Statsd version 0.13 or later and implement validation for metric names and values in the update_stats and gauge methods.
Original NVD description (English source)
Net::Statsd versions before 0.13 for Perl allow metric injections. The metric names are not checked for newlines, colons or pipes. Metrics generated from untrusted sources could inject additional statsd metrics. The update_stats (used for updating counters) and gauge methods do not check that values are numeric (which would block metric injection).
