It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2026-5091 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: JJNAPIORK Catalyst::Plugin::Authentication. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-5091/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-5091/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-5091","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-5091/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-5091","record":{"aliases":["DEBIAN-CVE-2026-5091","GHSA-37jv-v9vv-wxwv","MGASA-2026-0160","UBUNTU-CVE-2026-5091"],"analysis":{"component_type":"library","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["data_read"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Perl authentication plugin","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Attackers can exploit timing discrepancies in password comparison to guess hashes or passwords in the Catalyst authentication plugin.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"information_disclosure"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"CPANSec","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":5.1,"severity":"medium","source":"cisa-adp","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-208","name":"Observable Timing Discrepancy"}],"description":"Catalyst::Plugin::Authentication versions through 0.10024 for Perl  is susceptible to timing attacks.\n\nThese versions use Perl's built-in eq comparison.
