CVE-2026-5090 (2026-05-19)

Template::Plugin::HTML versions through 3.102 for Perl allows HTML and JavaScript to be injected. The html_filter function did not escape single quotes. HTML attributes inside of single quotes could be have code injected. For example, the variable "var" in <a id='ref' title='[% var | html %]'> would not be properly escaped. An attacker could insert some limited HTML and JavaScript, for example, var = " ' onclick='while (true) { alert(1) }'" Note that arbitrary HTML and JavaScript would be difficult to inject, because angle brackets, ampersands and double-quotes would still be escaped.

NAME

Template::Plugin::Iterator - Plugin to create iterators (Template::Iterator)

SYNOPSIS

[% USE iterator(list, args) %]

[% FOREACH item = iterator %]
   [% '<ul>' IF iterator.first %]
   <li>[% item %]
   [% '</ul>' IF iterator.last %]
[% END %]

DESCRIPTION

The iterator plugin provides a way to create a Template::Iterator object to iterate over a data set. An iterator is implicitly automatically by the FOREACH directive. This plugin allows the iterator to be explicitly created with a given name.
