CVE ID: CVE-2026-85485 Distribution: HTML-FormHandler Versions: before 0.410002 MetaCPAN: https://metacpan.org/dist/HTML-FormHandler VCS Repo: https://github.com/gshank/html-formhandler HTML::FormHandler versions before 0.410002 for Perl render some error messages into HTML without escaping Description ----------- HTML::FormHandler versions before 0.410002 for Perl render some error messages into HTML without escaping. The Table form layout and the Bootstrap 2 and 3 wrappers splice each error string straight into the surrounding markup. Version 0.410000, the fix for CVE-2026-19872, escaped the equivalent values in the other layouts and wrappers, and 0.410002 extended that to these three. Error messages that contain attacker-influenced content such as rejected field values could embed JavaScript in rendered pages. Problem types ------------- - CWE-79 Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting') Solutions --------- Upgrade to HTML-FormHandler 0.410002 or later.
