CVE-2026-7111

8.4 · HIGH
Published Apr 29, 2026 hmbrand CWE-416

Overview

CVE-2026-7111 is a high-severity vulnerability affecting hmbrand text\. It was published on April 29, 2026 and has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 8.4 (HIGH).

This vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 8.4, rated HIGH. It requires local or adjacent network access to exploit. No authentication or special privileges are required for exploitation.

Technical Description

Text::CSV_XS versions before 1.62 for Perl have a use-after-free when registered callbacks extend the Perl argument stack, which may enable type confusion or memory corruption.

The Parse, print, getline, and getline_all methods invoke registered callbacks (for example after_parse, before_print, or on_error) and cache the Perl argument stack pointer across the call. If a callback extends the argument stack enough to trigger a reallocation, the return value is written through the stale pointer into the freed buffer, and the caller reads the original $self argument as the return value instead.

Calling code that expects parsed data from getline_all receives the Text::CSV_XS object in its place, leading to logic errors or crashes. Text::CSV_XS objects used without any registered callbacks are not affected.

Remediation

Check the references section for vendor advisories and patches from hmbrand. Update text\ to the latest patched version. If immediate patching is not possible, review the CVSS vector to understand the attack surface and apply compensating controls such as network segmentation or access restrictions.
