Official Description

DataDog::DogStatsd versions through 0.07 for Perl allow metric injections from event tags.

DataDog::DogStatsd does not properly sanitise input, allowing metric injections of data from untrusted sources.

The format_event method (used by the event method) does not validate the content of the tags, which may contain commas (allowing tags to be injected) or newlines, pipes and colons that allow metric injections. (There is an ineffective s/|//g to remove pipes, but because the pipe is not escaped, it is interpreted as a regular expression metacharacter and has no effect.)

Risk Analysis

This critical vulnerability in DataDog::DogStatsd for Perl allows attackers to inject arbitrary metrics from event tags. Improper sanitization of event tags, specifically the ineffective removal of pipes and lack of validation for commas, enables metric injection. With a CVSS score of 9.8, this flaw presents a severe risk to data integrity and availability.

No public exploit is currently known for this vulnerability. The flaw is remotely exploitable (AV:N) with low attack complexity.

Recommended Action

Upgrade DataDog::DogStatsd for Perl to a version beyond 0.07. Ensure all event tag input is strictly validated and sanitized to prevent the injection of malicious characters.

Technical Analysis

CVE-2026-11362 can be exploited remotely over the network without requiring physical or adjacent access, significantly expanding the attack surface for threat actors.

The vulnerability requires no privileges and no user interaction, making it a prime target for automated exploitation campaigns and worm-like propagation.

A successful exploit results in complete confidentiality breach (data exposure), full integrity compromise (data manipulation), availability disruption (denial of service), with a CVSS base score of 9.8.
