CVE-2026-60082: CWE-125 Out-of-bounds Read in HMBRAND DBI
DBI versions before 1.651 for Perl do not enforce statement handle consistency with the row. When the statement handle had no fields but the source row was non-empty, the internal row-buffer helper would read from a negative array index. This could be triggered by a caller supplying inconsistent metadata and rows to the prepare method.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
The vulnerability in HMBRAND DBI versions before 1.651 involves improper enforcement of statement handle consistency with the row data. Specifically, when a statement handle has no fields but the source row is non-empty, the internal row-buffer helper attempts to read from a negative array index. This out-of-bounds read is triggered by callers providing inconsistent metadata and row data to the prepare method. No CVSS score or detailed vendor remediation information is available.
Potential Impact
An out-of-bounds read can lead to application crashes or potentially expose sensitive memory contents depending on the environment and usage. However, no known exploits are reported in the wild, and the exact impact beyond memory safety issues is not detailed.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Users should avoid supplying inconsistent metadata and row data to the prepare method as a temporary measure until an official fix is available.
