CVE-2026-121632: Data::MuForm versions through 0.05 for Perl render attribute values and option labels into HTML without escaping

Data::MuForm, a Perl module, contains a cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in versions through 0.05 where attribute values and option labels are rendered into HTML without proper escaping. The vulnerability, tracked as CVE-2026-121632, allows malicious input to be executed in the browser context of affected applications.

Why it matters: Developers using Data::MuForm to generate web forms must upgrade immediately to patch this XSS flaw, which enables attackers to inject arbitrary scripts into user sessions if untrusted data reaches form rendering.
