Description
A flaw was found in perl-cgi. This vulnerability allows a remote attacker to conduct request forgery by spoofing internal request body parameters through query strings or form fields. Because the module does not distinguish between actual request payloads and user-supplied parameters, an attacker can submit crafted input that the application mistakenly processes as a legitimate request body.
