Net::Statsd::Lite versions through 0.10.0 for Perl allowed metric injections
Net::Statsd::Lite versions through 0.10.0 for Perl allowed metric injections.
The values from the set_add method were not checked for newlines, colons or pipes. Metrics generated from untrusted sources could inject additional statsd metrics.
Note that version 0.9.0 fixed a similar issue CVE-2026-46719 for metric names.

Validate that all values sent to the client based on untrusted data do not contain metric injections.
