VULHUB ™

A vulnerability has been reported in the escape_dangerous_chars() function, which is a part of the CGI Lite Perl module. The function does not sufficiently sanitize all instances of potentially dangerous characters. As the end result, externally supplied input may not be adequately sanitized before being used in other Perl functions. This will create a false sense of security and may allow an attacker to execute arbitrary commands via a CGI program which depends on the vulnerable function.
