Published Jun 4, 2026CWE-93EPSS 0.40%

Overview

CVE-2026-46739 is a medium-severity vulnerability. It was published on June 4, 2026 and has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 5.3 (MEDIUM).

This vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 5.3, rated MEDIUM. It can be exploited remotely over the network. No authentication or special privileges are required for exploitation.

Technical description

Net::Statsd versions before 0.13 for Perl allow metric injections.

The metric names are not checked for newlines, colons or pipes. Metrics generated from untrusted sources could inject additional statsd metrics.

The update_stats (used for updating counters) and gauge methods do not check that values are numeric (which would block metric injection).

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.
