CVE Descriptions

The (1) lc, (2) lcfirst, (3) uc, and (4) ucfirst functions in Perl 5.10.x, 5.11.x, and 5.12.x through 5.12.3, and 5.13.x through 5.13.11, do not apply the taint attribute to the return value upon processing tainted input, which might allow context-dependent attackers to bypass the taint protection mechanism via a crafted string.

EPSS

EPSS is a scoring model that predicts the likelihood of a vulnerability being exploited.

EPSS Score

The EPSS model produces a probability score between 0 and 1 (0 and 100%). The higher the score, the greater the probability that a vulnerability will be exploited.

EPSS Percentile

The percentile is used to rank CVE according to their EPSS score. For example, a CVE in the 95th percentile according to its EPSS score is more likely to be exploited than 95% of other CVE. Thus, the percentile is used to compare the EPSS score of a CVE with that of other CVE.

source: https://www.securityfocus.com/bid/47124/info Perl is prone to a security-bypass weakness that occurs when laundering tainted input. Attackers can leverage this issue to bypass security checks in perl applications that rely on TAINT mode protection functionality. This opens such applications up to potential attacks that take advantage of the software's failure to properly sanitize user-supplied input. The following example input is available: > perl -Te 'use Scalar::Util qw(tainted); $t=$0; $u=lc($t); printf("%d,%d\n",tainted($t),tainted($u))' > perl -Te 'use Scalar::Util qw(tainted); $t=$0; $u=lc($t); printf("%d,%d\n",tainted($t),tainted($u))'
