======================================================================== CVE-2026-114627 CPAN Security Group ========================================================================
CVE ID: CVE-2026-114627 Distribution: Web-Simple Versions: before 0.036 MetaCPAN: https://metacpan.org/dist/Web-Simple VCS Repo: https://github.com/p5sagit/Web-Simple Web::Simple versions before 0.036 for Perl do not escape values interpolated into double-quoted strings in HTML::Tags output Description ----------- Web::Simple versions before 0.036 for Perl do not escape values interpolated into double-quoted strings in HTML::Tags output. Under use HTML::Tags or use XML::Tags, a double-quoted string literal becomes a StringThing object that holds each interpolated value as a separate part. The escaping step passes such objects through, and stringify joins their interpolated parts as is. A value passed on its own, as in <p>, $value, </p>, is entity-escaped, but the same value in "Hello $value" is not. An attacker who controls a value that an application interpolates into a double-quoted string can inject script into the generated page. Problem types ------------- - CWE-79 Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting') Solutions --------- Upgrade to Web-Simple 0.036 or later.
