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 0.08 - 2012-08-11

  • Improved performance by a ~13x factor, optimizing the send code and reusing the same socket instead of creating a new one every time.
  • Added a benchmarking script, to measure Net::Statsd throughput in msg/s.
  • Thanks to Tim Bunce for these great patches.
