What is CVE-2026-46720?

Net::Statsd::Tiny versions prior to 0.3.8 for Perl are susceptible to a metric injection vulnerability. This occurs when the application fails to validate input for metric names and set values, allowing metrics from untrusted sources to include newline characters, colons, or pipes. Consequently, this could lead to the injection of unauthorized statsd metrics, potentially compromising application integrity and security.

Affected Version(s)

Net::Statsd::Tiny 0 < 0.3.8
