Description

A security flaw was found in the DBI (Database Interface) Perl module affecting Red Hat Enterprise Linux versions 9.8.z and 10.2.z. This issue is a partial fix for a previous vulnerability (CVE-2026-14380) and allows arbitrary code execution via a caller-influenced Profile attribute. The vulnerability has a high severity with a CVSS score of 8.8, indicating network attack vector with low complexity and no user interaction required. Red Hat has released updated perl-DBI packages to address this issue.

Impact

The vulnerability allows remote attackers with low privileges to execute arbitrary code on affected systems without user interaction. This can lead to full compromise of confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the system. The flaw bypasses protection mechanisms by injecting code via the Profile attribute, potentially allowing privilege escalation and unauthorized command execution.

Summary

CVE-2026-19546 is a vulnerability in the DBI Perl module that allows arbitrary code execution through a caller-influenced Profile attribute. This flaw represents an incomplete fix for the earlier CVE-2026-14380. The vulnerability is classified under CWE-94 (Improper Control of Generation of Code), enabling attackers with low privileges to execute unauthorized code remotely without user interaction. Red Hat has issued security advisories and updated perl-DBI packages for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10 and its Extended Update Support variants to remediate this issue.
