Subject: CVE-2026-9658: Plack::Middleware::Security::Common versions before
0.13.1 for Perl did not block header injections in request paths
========================================================================
CVE-2026-9658 CPAN Security Group
========================================================================
CVE ID: CVE-2026-9658
Distribution: Plack-Middleware-Security-Simple
Versions: before 0.13.1
MetaCPAN: https://metacpan.org/dist/Plack-Middleware-Security-Simple
VCS Repo: https://github.com/robrwo/Plack-Middleware-Security-Simple
Plack::Middleware::Security::Common versions before 0.13.1 for Perl did
not block header injections in request paths
Description
-----------
Plack::Middleware::Security::Common versions before 0.13.1 for Perl did
not block header injections in request paths.
The header injection rule was ineffective at blocking header injections
in the request paths unless they were double-encoded, for example,
GET /path\r\nHTTP/1.1\r\nHost: secret.example.com
Note that it is unclear whether request paths with CRLF followed by
additional headers would be blocked by reverse proxies, or how they
would be processed by Plack-based servers.
Problem types
-------------
- CWE-790 Improper Filtering of Special Elements
- CWE-113 Improper Neutralization of CRLF Sequences in HTTP Headers
Workarounds
-----------
Use with the the the non_printable_chars rule to block header
injections.
Solutions
---------
Upgrade to 0.13.1 or later.
