Doc Text:
A flaw was found in App::cpanminus (cpanm) through version 1.7047. The default configuration downloads Perl modules from CPAN using HTTP, which could allow an attacker to view or modify the content without the knowledge of the user. This issue could allow an attacker to execute malicious code if they have the ability to intercept and modify the content before it reaches to user.

Description OSIDB Bzimport 2024-08-27 04:20:30 UTC
