Summary

Vulnerability in Mojolicious::Plugin::Statsd for Perl up to version 0.04 allowed metric injections. Metric names and set values were not checked for newlines, colons or pipes. Metrics from untrusted sources could inject additional statsd metrics.

Risk Assessment

An attacker can inject fake metrics into the monitoring system, potentially causing false alarms, hiding real attacks, or overloading the data collection system.

Recommendation

It is recommended to upgrade Mojolicious::Plugin::Statsd to version 0.06 or later, which uses a separate statsd client and defaults to a fixed version of Net::Statsd::Tiny.

Original NVD description (English source)

Mojolicious::Plugin::Statsd versions through 0.04 for Perl allowed metric injections. The metric names and set values were not checked for newlines, colons or pipes. Metrics generated from untrusted sources could inject additional statsd metrics. Version 0.06 changes the module from being a statsd client to using a separate statsd client. It defaults to using a version of Net::Statsd::Tiny that fixes a similar issue (CVE-2026-46720).
