AI-suggested

A fix is available in HTTP::Body version 1.23_01. Users should upgrade to this version to ensure proper cleanup of temporary files from incomplete multipart uploads.

Description

HTTP::Body versions before 1.23_01 for Perl have an incomplete cleanup vulnerability where temporary files from incomplete multipart uploads remain on disk. This occurs because temporary files are only tracked and deleted if the upload part completes, leaving orphaned files when uploads end prematurely. An attacker can exploit this by sending repeated incomplete multipart requests, causing disk space exhaustion in the temporary directory.
