CyberRota Analysis
AI-GeneratedHTML::FormHandler versions prior to 0.410002 for Perl are vulnerable due to improper escaping of error messages, allowing attacker-controlled content to be embedded in rendered HTML. This flaw can lead to cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks, potentially compromising user data and application integrity. Developers and security teams using affected versions should prioritize upgrading to mitigate these risks.

Original NVD Description
HTML::FormHandler versions before 0.410002 for Perl render some error messages into HTML without escaping. The Table form layout and the Bootstrap 2 and 3 wrappers splice each error string straight into the surrounding markup. Version 0.410000, the fix for CVE-2026-19872, escaped the equivalent values in the other layouts and wrappers, and 0.410002 extended that to these three. Error messages that contain attacker-influenced content such as rejected field values could embed JavaScript in rendered pages.
