CVE-2026-45180: CWE-319 Cleartext Transmission of Sensitive Information in RRWO Catalyst::Plugin::Statsd
CVE-2026-45180 affects Catalyst::Plugin::Statsd versions through 0. 10. 0 for Perl and involves the cleartext transmission of session IDs. If the communication channel to the statsd daemon is not secured, such as when sending UDP packets across networks, session IDs may be leaked. This leakage could allow an attacker to use these session IDs as authentication tokens. No official patch or remediation guidance is currently available. There are no known exploits in the wild at this time.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
Catalyst::Plugin::Statsd versions up to 0.10.0 for Perl may leak session IDs due to cleartext transmission over unsecured communication channels to the statsd daemon. This vulnerability is categorized under CWE-319 (Cleartext Transmission of Sensitive Information). The risk arises when UDP packets containing session IDs are sent to hosts on other networks without encryption or other protections, potentially exposing session tokens to interception.
Potential Impact
The vulnerability may lead to session ID leakage if the communication channel to the statsd daemon is not secured. An attacker who intercepts these session IDs could use them as authentication tokens, potentially gaining unauthorized access. There are no reported exploits in the wild, and the scope of impact depends on the network configuration and whether the communication is exposed to untrusted networks.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is available, users should secure the communication channel to the statsd daemon, for example by restricting network access, using VPNs, or encrypting traffic to prevent interception of session IDs.
