Technical description

DataDog::DogStatsd versions through 0.07 for Perl allow metric injections.

DataDog::DogStatsd does not properly sanitise input, allowing metric injections of data from untrusted sources.

The send_stats method does not remove newlines from metric names ($stat variable), allowing attackers to change the metric name prefix.

The send_stats method does not validate the content of the value ($delta variable), allowing attackers to inject metrics, especially from methods that do not restrict the data type for the value, such as set, gauge, count and histogram.

The send_stats method does not validate the content of the tags, which may contain newlines, pipes and colons that allow metric injections.

Note that the SYNOPSIS shows an example of passing a website form "loginName" parameter as a tag, which is unsafe.

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.
