HTML::FormHandler versions before 0.410002 for Perl render field attributes into HTML without escaping using the process_attrs method. Any application with fields or field labels where some attributes are built from data rather than literals allows attacker-influenced text in an attribute value that can override the field attributes or embed JavaScript in rendered pages. For example, the RadioGroup widget uses the process_attrs method via the render_option and wrap_radio methods.

The remote Fedora 43 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the FEDORA-2026-167a356523 advisory.

    ----

    HTML::FormHandler versions through 0.40068 allow attacker selected method dispatch and resource exhaustion     because _apply_actions and add_error use error message text built from request data as a Locale::Maketext     bracket notation template.

    Versions 0.410000+ fix the issue by passing error messages with request data as Locale::Maketext arguments     instead of templates.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Fedora security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.
