CVE-2026-46740 is a medium-severity vulnerability rated 5.3/10 on the CVSS scale. Mojolicious::Plugin::Statsd versions through 0.04 for Perl allowed metric injections. The metric names and set values were not checked for newlines, colons or pipes. Metrics generated from untrusted sources could inject additional statsd metrics. Version 0.06 changes the module from being a statsd client to using a separate statsd client. EPSS estimates a 0.33% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
