Linux::Statm::Tiny for Perl allows untrusted code to be included from the current working directory

Type: advisorySources: OSV

Linux::Statm::Tiny for Perl before 0.0701 allows untrusted code from the current working directory ('.') to be loaded similar to CVE-2016-1238. If an attacker can place a malicious file in current working directory, it may be loaded instead of the intended file, potentially leading to arbitrary code execution. Linux::Statm::Tiny uses Mite to produce the affected code section due to CVE-2025-30672
