Metric injection in Net::Statsd for Perl (all versions before 0.13) allows network-reachable, unauthenticated attackers to forge additional StatsD metric lines by embedding newlines, colons, or pipes in metric names or values passed through the library. Any application that feeds untrusted external input into Net::Statsd method calls without prior sanitization is directly exposed, because the wire format uses those characters as delimiters between metrics in a single UDP datagram. No public exploit code exists and this vulnerability is not listed in CISA KEV; however, the CVSS AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N surface warrants prompt patching wherever user-controlled strings reach metric instrumentation calls.
