[UPDATE] [mittel] Perl: Schwachstelle ermöglicht Codeausführung und Offenlegung von Informationen

Updated BSI advisory for a medium-severity Perl vulnerability enabling local code execution and data disclosure — legacy build environments and system scripts may be exposed.

Filed by CERT-Bund (BSI)1 min readRead at source ↗

Ein lokaler Angreifer kann eine Schwachstelle in Perl ausnutzen, um beliebigen Programmcode auszuführen, und um Informationen offenzulegen.

Editorial Analysis

Perl is still pervasive in system tooling and CI scripts; unpatched instances on shared hosts create a local privilege-escalation path.

What to do

Inventory Perl installations across build hosts and apply vendor patches from the advisory.
