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 0.11 - 2015-04-23

  • Fixed RT#103913, use note() instead of diag() in the test suite. Thanks to Zefram for reporting it and sending a patch.
  • Implemented experimental multi-metric gauge sending. Thanks to Ville Mattila for the initial patch.
