CVE-2026-46739
Description
A flaw was found in perl-Net-Statsd. This vulnerability allows an attacker to inject additional statsd metrics due to insufficient validation of metric names and values. Specifically, the software does not properly check for newlines, colons, or pipes in metric names, nor does it ensure that values passed to update_stats and gauge methods are numeric. This could lead to the manipulation of monitoring data or potentially other unintended system behaviors.
