Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions SOAP::Lite versions 0.50 through 0.52

Description The issue allows remote attackers to load arbitrary Perl functions by supplying a non-existent function in a script using the SOAP::Lite module. This causes the AUTOLOAD subroutine to trigger, potentially leading to exploitation.

Recommendations For versions 0.50 through 0.52, consider disabling the AUTOLOAD subroutine as a temporary workaround until a patch is available. Restrict access to the SOAP::Lite module to minimize the risk of exploitation.
