MEDIUM 6.5EPSS 0.30%

Does this matter?

Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.30%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.

Description

Net::CIDR::Lite versions before 0.24 for Perl does not properly consider extraneous zero characters in CIDR mask values, which may allow IP ACL bypass. Mask forms like "/00" and "/01" pass validation and parse to the same prefix as their unpadded value. See also CVE-2026-45190.
