Detailsinfo

A vulnerability classified as critical was found in Data::Dump::Streamer up to 2.x. This vulnerability affects the function _dump_qr of the component Regexp. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a code injection vulnerability. The CWE definition for the vulnerability is CWE-94. The product constructs all or part of a code segment using externally-influenced input from an upstream component, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes special elements that could modify the syntax or behavior of the intended code segment. As an impact it is known to affect confidentiality, integrity, and availability. CVE summarizes:

Data::Dump::Streamer versions before 3.00 for Perl allow code injection via unescaped Regexp patterns in _dump_qr. A Regexp's pattern is written into a qr literal without escaping "$" or "@", so "@{[ ... ]}" and "${\ ... }" in the pattern run as code when the dump is evaluated. An already escaped delimiter gets a second backslash, which leaves the delimiter bare and ends the qr literal early. An attacker who supplies a pattern that an application compiles, dumps and later restores with eval or do can run arbitrary Perl code.

The advisory is available at metacpan.org. This vulnerability was named CVE-2026-126673 since 11/11/2026. The exploitation appears to be easy. The attack can be initiated remotely. Technical details are known, but there is no available exploit. This vulnerability is assigned to T1059 by the MITRE ATT&CK project.

Upgrading to version 3.00 eliminates this vulnerability.
