The FETCH, EXISTS and DELETE methods throw an exception when on malformed regular expressions.
Each method falls back to a regex match when the key is not already stored in the hash, compiling the caller's key with a bare qr// and no eval guard. A key that is not a valid regular expression pattern, such as a single unmatched bracket, dies.
An application that looks up externally supplied strings in a tied hash will die on an invalid key.
Analysis and contextual insights are available on OpenCVE Cloud.
Vendor Solution
Upgrade to Tie::Hash::Regex version 2.0.0 or later.
Vendor Workaround
For deployments that cannot be upgraded, ensure that calls to check the existence of keys, fetch values from keys or delete keys are wrapped in an eval block.
