Security update for perl-Cpanel-JSON-XS
Severity
Critical
Notes
Title of the patch: Security update for perl-Cpanel-JSON-XS
Description of the patch: This update for perl-Cpanel-JSON-XS fixes the following issues:
Changes in perl-Cpanel-JSON-XS:
- updated to 4.420.0 (4.42)
see /usr/share/doc/packages/perl-Cpanel-JSON-XS/Changes
4.42 2026-06-27 (rurban)
- Ensure encode with a type spec hashref does not change the hashref argument (GH #240)
- Fix -e docs: "written" → "read" (GH #239, reported by Ron Savage).
- Fix Boolean eq overload matching undef (GH #207, reported by fd-t).
Cpanel::JSON::XS::Boolean overloaded eq would match undef as equal
to false because undef stringifies to "". Added defined() guard.
- Fix error messages showing overloaded stringification for blessed
objects (GH #191, reported by karenetheridge). Error messages now
use ClassName=TYPE(addr) format, bypassing any "" overload.
- Fix type_all_string overriding allow_blessed/convert_blessed (GH #175,
reported by alpha6). With type_all_string + allow_blessed, blessed
objects are now encoded as null (not stringified as HASH address).
- Fix infinite recursion when encode is called from a "" overload
(GH #128, reported by pbrthemaster). The recursion guard temporarily
clears convert_blessed and allow_stringify flags on the JSON object
before calling the overload, preventing re-entrant encode loops.
- Fix $obj->new creating a broken object (GH #93, reported by cpansprout).
When new() is called on an existing object (e.g. $json->new->new),
the class name is now extracted from the object's stash rather than
using the stringified reference.
- Change allow_nonref default to true (GH #241, matching JSON::PP and
JSON::XS 4.0+ and the insecure RFC 7159).
encode and decode now accept non-reference values by default.
decode_json() with an explicit 0/1 second argument still works.
allow_nonref(0) to disable scalars-only for secure JSON.
- Fix minor t/12_blessed.t typo.
- Fix GH #112: encode large whole-number NV values without .0 on
32-bit Perl (values exceeding UV_MAX that Perl stores as float).
- Fix GH #197: prefer IOK over pNOK when encoding values where
IV is accurate but NV is imprecise (SvNOK not set).
- updated to 4.410.0 (4.41)
see /usr/share/doc/packages/perl-Cpanel-JSON-XS/Changes
4.41 2026-05-27 (rurban)
- Fix BOM-shift PV-corruption SIGABRT (CVE-2026-9516) (patch by Paul Johnson) bsc#1267547
- Fix dupkeys_as_arrayref type confusion (CVE-2026-9334) (patch by Paul Johnson) bsc#1267546
- Fix incr_parse single-quote string delimiter (GH #245, reported by
Paul Johnson)
- Fix a one-byte out-of-bounds heap read reachable via allow_barekey on
truncated input (GH #244, reported by Paul Johnson)
- updated to 4.400.0 (4.40)
see /usr/share/doc/packages/perl-Cpanel-JSON-XS/Changes
4.40 2025-09-07 (rurban)
- Fix CVE-2025-40929 overflow with overlong numbers, fuzzing only.
- Detect more malformed numbers, with two decimal points.
- Pin github actions to latest @v via pinact run -u
(bsc#1249331)
- updated to 4.390.0 (4.39)
see /usr/share/doc/packages/perl-Cpanel-JSON-XS/Changes
4.39 2024-12-12 (rurban)
- Fix Windows -Dusequadmath (sisyphus GH #235, GH #229)
- Fix inconsistent behavior between decoding escaped and unescaped
surrogates, and escaped non-characters vs non-escaped non-characters.
Now aligned to JSON::PP (Gavin Hayes GH #233, GH #227)
- Add type_all_string tests (Bernhard Schmalhofer GH #236)
- Silence UV to char cast warnings (bulk88 GH #232)
- Fix MSVC preprocessor errors (bulk88 GH #232)
- Fix -Wformat warnings on Windows (sisyphus GH #228)
- Clarify BigInt decoding (GH #226)

{
"category": "general",
"text": "Cpanel::JSON::XS versions before 4.41 for Perl allow denial of service via UTF-8 BOM prefixed input when a decode filter callback throws.\n\nTo skip a leading 3-byte UTF-8 BOM, decode_json() advances the input scalar\u0027s string pointer past the mark with SvPV_set() and restores it only on the normal return path. When decoding aborts through a Perl exception, for example a filter_json_object callback that croaks, the restore is skipped and the scalar is left with its string pointer offset into its own buffer and a shortened length.\n\nWhen that scalar is later freed, the allocator receives an invalid pointer and the interpreter aborts. A single BOM prefixed document decoded with a throwing filter callback crashes any caller.",

The MITRE ATT&CK techniques below are AI-generated suggestions, inferred from the description of the
vulnerability by the CIRCL/vulnerability-attack-technique-classification-roberta-base
model, served locally by ML-Gateway.
They have not been verified by an analyst and are provided for guidance only.
The approach is described in our paper Mapping CVEs to MITRE ATT&CK Techniques: A Curated Gold-Set Classifier and the Limits of LLM-Assisted Label Expansion.
