CVE-2026-9641
Last modified
CVE-2026-9641 is a medium-severity vulnerability rated 5.3/10 on the CVSS scale. Crypt::PBKDF2 versions before 0.261630 for Perl have a weak default algorithm and number of iterations. The default algorithm is HMAC-SHA1, which should only be used for legacy systems. These versions default to using 1000 iterations. Depending on the chosen algorithm, 220,000 to 1,400,000 iterations should be used.. EPSS estimates a 0.23% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
