DescriptionCVE.org

Crypt::Sodium::XS module versions prior to 0.000042, for Perl, include a vulnerable version of libsodium

libsodium <= 1.0.20 or a version of libsodium released before December 30, 2025 contains a vulnerability documented as CVE-2025-69277  https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2025-69277 .

The libsodium vulnerability states:

In atypical use cases involving certain custom cryptography or untrusted data to crypto_core_ed25519_is_valid_point, mishandles checks for whether an elliptic curve point is valid because it sometimes allows points that aren't in the main cryptographic group.

0.000042 includes a version of libsodium updated to 1.0.20-stable, released January 3, 2026, which includes a fix for the vulnerability.

AnalysisAI

Crypt::Sodium::XS for Perl bundles a vulnerable version of libsodium (<= 1.0.20) that has a signature verification flaw. In atypical use cases with custom cryptography, this can compromise data authenticity guarantees. Patch available.

Technical ContextAI

The bundled libsodium version contains CVE-2025-69277, a vulnerability in signature verification (CWE-347). While standard usage patterns are typically not affected, custom cryptographic implementations that rely on certain libsodium verification functions may accept forged signatures.

RemediationAI

Update to Crypt::Sodium::XS 0.000042 or later. Verify that the system libsodium is also updated to > 1.0.20.
