Title
Sub::HandlesVia for Perl allows untrusted code to be included from the current working directory
Summary
Sub::HandlesVia for Perl before 0.050002 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.
Sub::HandlesVia uses Mite to produce the affected code section due to CVE-2025-30672
