CVE-2026-15392: Hmbrand Dbd::file

High severity, CVSS 7.7. EPSS: 0.2% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

DBD::File versions before 1.651 for Perl do not ensure the table file is not a symlink to an untrusted location. The complete_table_name method builds the absolute table file path without checking whether the file is a symbolic link. A link inside the data directory can point to a table file at any path outside of the configured f_dir and f_dir_search directories. Callers of file-based drivers can read or write files outside of the data directory.

Affected products

• Hmbrand Dbd::file: before 1.651 (fixed in 1.651)
