CVE-2026-126673Data-Dump-Streamer code injection
CVE-2026-126673 is a code injection in Data-Dump-Streamer, not yet scored.
Why this priority: Not scored yet, and no exploitation signal.
Published · Updated · NVD status: Received
What it is
Input is evaluated as code by the application, so an attacker's code runs inside it.
How it is reached
The record does not say yet how the flaw is reached; the description below is the best guide until it is scored.
What an attacker gains
Its impact has not been scored yet. In practice, this kind of flaw lets an attacker run commands or code with the privileges of the affected service.
Is it being exploited?
There is no public report of exploitation yet.
What to do
- Upgrade Data-Dump-Streamer to 3.00 or later.
Description from NVD
Data::Dump::Streamer versions before 3.00 for Perl allow code injection via unescaped Regexp patterns in _dump_qr.
A Regexp's pattern is written into a qr literal without escaping "$" or "@", so "@{[ ... ]}" and "${\ ... }" in the pattern run as code when the dump is evaluated. An already escaped delimiter gets a second backslash, which leaves the delimiter bare and ends the qr literal early.
An attacker who supplies a pattern that an application compiles, dumps and later restores with eval or do can run arbitrary Perl code.
What this means for your architecture.
A CVE names a product. Whether it matters depends on where that product sits in your systems: what reaches it, which trust boundary it guards and what it can reach once compromised. Veriom maps your components, their relationships and your trust boundaries from your code, cloud and delivery evidence, so you can see where a component like this sits. The radar itself does not look at your systems.
Components it touches
- Application servers and the hosts they run on. The flaw sits between untrusted input and code or command execution.
- Template engines. The flaw sits between untrusted input and code or command execution.
Trust boundaries in play
- Between untrusted input and code or command execution. An attacker who crosses it can run commands or code with the privileges of the affected service.
Questions to answer about your own systems
- Where does Data-Dump-Streamer run in your systems, and at which version?
- Which of those instances are reachable by people you do not trust?
- What can it reach once compromised: which data stores, secrets and services?
