CVE-2026-8450 (GCVE-0-2026-8450)

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2026-05-27 04:22 – Updated: 2026-07-15 00:39

Title

HTTP::Daemon versions before 6.17 for Perl allow OS command injection via send_file()

Summary

HTTP::Daemon versions before 6.17 for Perl allow OS command injection via send_file(). send_file() opens its string argument with Perl's 2-arg open(). The 2-arg form interprets magic prefixes: '| cmd' and 'cmd |' open a pipe to a subprocess, '> path' and '>> path' open the path for write or append. Untrusted input passed to send_file() can run OS commands at the daemon process UID. The read-pipe form ('cmd |') also leaks subprocess stdout into the HTTP response body. The write-mode forms can create or truncate files at attacker chosen paths.
