AI-suggested
Upgrade CallBackery to version 0.62.0 or later, where this issue is fixed by properly grouping the regular expression patterns in createRxValidator. No other mitigation is indicated by the vendor advisory.
Description
CallBackery versions before 0.62.0 for Perl contain a permissive regular expression vulnerability in the createRxValidator function. The function is intended to anchor patterns strictly but fails to group alternations properly, allowing unintended values to pass validation. This flaw permits authenticated users to submit values that should be rejected, potentially leading to unsafe data being written into generated configuration files.
