libtemplate-perl: Template::Plugin::HTML versions before 3.103 for Perl allows HTML and JavaScript to be injected
CVE-2026-5090 is fixed in 4 products on 1 platform, first by libtemplate-perl 2.27-1ubuntu0.22.04.1, released May 19, 2026. It is not reported as exploited. Patch Radar priority: Routine.
Template::Plugin::HTML versions before 3.103 for Perl allows HTML and JavaScript to be injected. The html_filter function did not escape single quotes. HTML attributes inside of single quotes could be have code injected. For example, the variable "var" in <a id='ref' title='[% var | html %]'> would not be properly escaped. An attacker could insert some limited HTML and JavaScript, for example, var = " ' onclick='while (true) { alert(1) }'" Note that arbitrary HTML and JavaScript would be difficult to inject, because angle brackets, ampersands and double-quotes would still be escaped.
