CVE-2026-120634
Public on 2026-11-04
Modified on 2026-11-05
Description
CGI::Carp versions before 5.00 for Perl leak warnings across requests in persistent environments via the warningsToBrowser buffer.
Warnings are held in a package-level buffer until warningsToBrowser writes them into the page as HTML comments, and the buffer is never cleared between requests. Under mod_perl, FastCGI or PSGI, warnings from one request are written into a later one.
Warnings that contain one user's request data can appear in the HTML sent to another user.
