An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2026-8500 exists.\n\nAffected product: EVANK Web::Passwd. 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-2026-8500/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-8500/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-8500","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-8500/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-8500","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-jrw9-jqqp-jcq9"],"analysis":{"component_type":"library","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Perl CGI application","requires_auth":"none","summary":"An attacker can execute arbitrary commands via the user parameter in Web::Passwd due to lack of input validation.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"command_injection"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"CPANSec","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":9.8,"severity":"critical","source":"cisa-adp","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-78","name":"Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an OS Command"}],"description":"Web::Passwd versions through 0.03 for Perl is vulnerable to RCE.\n\nWeb::Passwd is a small CGI application for managing htpasswd files using the htpasswd command.\n\nThe user parameter is not validated or escaped, and is used as the last argument on the command line, allowing for command injection.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"weaponised"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Web::Passwd versions through 0.03 for Perl is vulnerable to RCE","id":"CVE-2026-8500","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"command_injection","year":"2026"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":2,"next":{"headline":"CVE-2026-8501","id":"CVE-2026-8501"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Auth bypass in Helpfulcrowd Product Reviews","id":"CVE-2026-8499"},"products":["Web::Passwd"],"published":"2026-05-13","related":[],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"yes","exploitation":"poc","technical_impact":"total"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-05-14","vendors":["EVANK"]},"summary":"An attacker can execute arbitrary commands via the user parameter in Web::Passwd due to lack of input validation.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-8500/"}
