Security Advisories (1)
CVE-2012-6141 (2014-06-04)

The App::Context module 0.01 through 0.968 for Perl does not properly use the Storable::thaw function, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted request to (1) App::Session::Cookie or (2) App::Session::HTMLHidden, which is not properly handled when it is deserialized.

$response = $procedure->execute(%named);
