Subject: CVE-2026-13575: HTTP::Session versions before 0.54 for Perl allow
 memcached command injection via unfiltered session ids in
 HTTP::Session::Store::CHI

========================================================================
CVE-2026-13575                                       CPAN Security Group
========================================================================

         CVE ID:  CVE-2026-13575

   Distribution:  http-session
       Versions:  before 0.54
       MetaCPAN:  https://metacpan.org/dist/http-session
       VCS Repo:  https://github.com/tokuhirom/http-session


HTTP::Session versions before 0.54 for Perl allow memcached command
injection via unfiltered session ids in HTTP::Session::Store::CHI

Description
-----------
HTTP::Session versions before 0.54 for Perl allow memcached command
injection via unfiltered session ids in HTTP::Session::Store::CHI.

The session id from the client's cookie reaches the CHI cache
unchanged. The sibling HTTP::Session::Store::Memcached rejects ids that
contain control characters, but the CHI store has no such check, and
CHI does not escape keys for its memcached drivers.

With a memcached driver, a CR and LF in the session id end the cache
command early, and the server reads the bytes after them as further
commands.

Problem types
-------------
- CWE-93 Improper Neutralization of CRLF Sequences

Solutions
---------
Upgrade to http-session 0.54 or later.
