Summary

Metrics::Any::Adapter::Statsd versions before 0.04 for Perl do not protect against metric injections. The send method does not validate the contents of metric names or values, allowing injections if names contain newlines or statsd control characters.

Risk Assessment

Organizations may be exposed to attacks that exploit metric injections, potentially leading to unauthorized access to or manipulation of data.

Recommendation

It is recommended to upgrade to version 0.04 or later to block metric injections through proper validation of metric names.

Original NVD description (English source)

Metrics::Any::Adapter::Statsd versions before 0.04 for Perl does not protect against metric injections. The statsd protocol (and extensions) allow mutiple metrics, separated by newlines, to be sent per packet. The send method does not validate the contents of the metric names or values. If the names have newlines and statsd control characters (colon, pipe) then metric injections are possible. Version 0.04 fixed this by modifying the _make method to block metric names with characters below ASCII 32 (which includes the newline), or colons or pipes.
