Summary
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, allowing additional metrics to be injected 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 version 0.06 or later, which changes the module's operation and uses a fixed version of Net::Statsd::Tiny.
Original NVD description (English source)
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).
