CVE-2026-46739 (2026-06-04)

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).

Changes for version 0.07 - 2012-08-10

  • Fixed tests failure when an already existing statsd server was already running on port 8125. The mock server will now use any available unprivileged port instead of 8125.
  • Thanks to Joseph Crotty for reporting the problem and to Jacob Rideout for providing a working patch.
