Title
HTML::FormHandler versions before 0.410002 for Perl render field attributes into HTML without escaping using the process_attrs method
Summary
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 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.
