Detailsinfo

A vulnerability has been found in CallBackery up to 0.61.x and classified as critical. Affected by this vulnerability is the function login of the component Login. The manipulation of the argument login_name with an unknown input leads to a neutralization for logs vulnerability. The CWE definition for the vulnerability is CWE-117. The product does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes output that is written to logs. As an impact it is known to affect integrity, and availability. The summary by CVE is:

CallBackery versions before 0.62.0 for Perl allow log injection via newlines in the login name. login() writes the login name to the application log without escaping control characters. The login RPC method needs no authentication, so a name containing a newline followed by text in the log record format adds a forged record. An unauthenticated attacker can forge log records, such as a successful administrator login from an address of their choosing.

The advisory is shared at metacpan.org. This vulnerability is known as CVE-2026-118994 since 10/29/2026. The exploitation appears to be easy. The attack can be launched remotely. The exploitation doesn't need any form of authentication. Technical details are known, but no exploit is available.
