CVE-2026-60082

DBI versions before 1.651 for Perl do not enforce statement handle consistency with the row.

CRITICAL 9.1EPSS 0.39%

Does this matter?

High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (0.39%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.

Description

DBI versions before 1.651 for Perl do not enforce statement handle consistency with the row. When the statement handle had no fields but the source row was non-empty, the internal row-buffer helper would read from a negative array index. This could be triggered by a caller supplying inconsistent metadata and rows to the prepare method.
