Summary

In Etsy::StatsD for Perl versions through 1.002002, metric names and values are not checked for newlines, colons or pipes, allowing metric injections from untrusted sources.

Risk Assessment

An attacker can inject fake metrics into the monitoring system, potentially causing false alarms, monitoring disruption, or further attacks on infrastructure.

Recommendation

Update the Etsy::StatsD library to the latest version (if available) or apply a patch to validate input. In the meantime, restrict trusted metric sources.

Etsy::StatsD versions through 1.002002 for Perl allow metric injections. The metric names and values are not checked for newlines, colons or pipes. Metrics generated from untrusted sources could inject additional statsd metrics. Note that the git repository contains an unreleased version with the gauge and set methods that also do not check for potential metric injections.
