Summary

The Perl library Net::Async::Statsd::Client up to version 0.005 does not validate metric names for newlines, colons or pipes. This allows injection of additional statsd metrics when data comes from untrusted sources.

Risk Assessment

An attacker can inject fake metrics into the monitoring system, leading to false alarms, hiding real issues, or system overload.

Recommendation

Update Net::Async::Statsd::Client to a version above 0.005. In the meantime, filter input data used as metric names.
