CVE-2026-16634
TOML::XS versions before 0.06 for Perl bundle an unsupported and vulnerable version of tomlc99.
The tomlc99 library is no longer maintained, and has an uncontrolled recursion vulnerability publicly reported in the issue tracker.
Any caller that passes untrusted TOML to from_toml risks a stack overflow from a deeply-nested document.
TOML::XS version 0.06 or later uses the successor tomlc17 library.
CVSS
- Versión: 3.1
- Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H
- Puntuación base: 9.8
Probabilidad de explotación (EPSS)
- Probabilidad de explotación en los próximos 30 días: 0.82%
- Percentil entre todas las CVEs puntuadas: 56
- Fecha de la puntuación: 4/10/2026
EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System, de FIRST) estima la probabilidad de que una vulnerabilidad sea explotada en 30 días. Complementa a CVSS (impacto) y a CISA KEV (explotación confirmada).
🎯 Técnicas ATT&CK
Cómo se explota esta vulnerabilidad y qué consigue el atacante, en el lenguaje de MITRE ATT&CK.
- Explotación
T1190Exploit Public-Facing Applicationinitial access90 % - Impacto principal
T1499.004Application or System Exploitationimpact85 %
AV:N/PR:N/UI:N indica explotación remota sin privilegios (T1190). Recursión incontrolada en TOML causa desbordamiento de pila (DoS en aplicación, T1499.004). En Perl, podría escalar a RCE/privilegios (T1068) según contexto.
Inferido por nuestro agente de análisis a partir de la descripción oficial, el vector CVSS y la CWE, y comprobado por un supervisor. Puede contener errores.
