Medium

VectorAV:L/AC:L/Au:S/C:C/I:N/A:C
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions DBI module through 1.643 for Perl
Description The issue is related to the DBI module for Perl, where the DBD::File drivers can open files from folders other than those specifically passed via the f dir attribute in the data source name (DSN). This is due to an incomplete fix for a previous issue. Exploitation of this issue can allow an attacker to access confidential data and cause a denial of service.
Recommendations For DBI module through 1.643 for Perl, consider restricting access to sensitive files and folders to minimize the risk of exploitation until a patch is available. As a temporary workaround, avoid using the f dir attribute in the DSN to prevent unauthorized file access. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
