Overview

CVE-2026-15392 is a high-severity vulnerability. It was published on July 14, 2026 and has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 7.7 (HIGH).

This vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 7.7, rated HIGH. It requires local or adjacent network access to exploit. No authentication or special privileges are required for exploitation.

Technical description

DBD::File versions before 1.651 for Perl do not ensure the table file is not a symlink to an untrusted location.

The complete_table_name method builds the absolute table file path without checking whether the file is a symbolic link. A link inside the data directory can point to a table file at any path outside of the configured f_dir and f_dir_search directories.

Callers of file-based drivers can read or write files outside of the data directory.

Remediation

Check the references section for vendor advisories, patches, and mitigation guidance. If immediate patching is not possible, review the CVSS vector to understand the attack surface and apply compensating controls such as network segmentation or access restrictions.
