Suse EUVD-2026-28999

Net::CIDR::Lite before version 0.24 accepts CIDR mask values with extraneous leading zeros (such as '/00' or '/01'), causing them to parse identically to their unpadded equivalents ('/0' or '/1'). This permits attackers to bypass IP-based access control lists by supplying alternate representations of the same network prefix, potentially granting unauthorized access to restricted resources. The vulnerability affects all Perl installations using vulnerable versions of this library and is rated with CVSS 6.5 (moderate integrity and availability impact). No active exploitation has been confirmed by CISA, but the flaw is automatable and exploitable remotely without authentication.
