CVE-2026-60074
HighCVSS 7.5Exploitation Probability (EPSS)
Low risk32th percentile - higher than 32% of all known CVEs
Summary
A vulnerability in the Date::Manip module for Perl (versions through 6.99) returns corrupted dates when non-ASCII decimal digits are present in the input string, as they pass numeric range checks.
Risk Assessment
The risk is that applications using the parsed date for business logic (e.g., expiry checks) may behave incorrectly without error, potentially leading to security flaws.
Recommendation
Update Date::Manip to a version above 6.99 or add validation that date fields contain only ASCII digits.
Other vulnerabilities in Date::Manip
Original NVD description (English source)
Date::Manip versions through 6.99 for Perl return corrupted dates via non-ASCII decimal digits that pass the numeric range tests in check. The parse regexes capture year, month and day with the `\d` shorthand, which on a character string matches the whole Unicode decimal digit property `\p{Nd}` and not just `[0-9]`. Date::Manip::Base::check then validates the captured fields with numeric comparisons alone (`$y<1 || $y>9999`, `$m<1 || $m>12`, `$d<1 || $d>$days`), and _parse_check stores the numified fields (`$y+0`). Perl truncates a string at the first character that is not an ASCII digit, so a field whose leading characters are ASCII digits numifies to an in-range prefix and satisfies every test: a year field of three ASCII digits followed by U+0664 ARABIC-INDIC DIGIT FOUR numifies to 202, giving the year 0202, and one non-ASCII digit in the month or day field shifts those fields the same way. The hour, minute and second fields match explicit ASCII character classes (`0?[0-9]`, `[0-5][0-9]`) and do not shift, though a non-ASCII digit in a fractional hour or minute field truncates the fraction. Any caller that passes an untrusted character string to ParseDate() or Date::Manip::Date->parse() can get back a date that differs from the string it parsed, with no parse error. Where the parsed date gates logic such as an expiry check or a retention window, the shift goes unnoticed.
