CVE-2026-86219: Authen::SASL::Perl::DIGEST_MD5 versions before 2.2100 for Perl accept replayed authentication responses via unverified nonce in server_step

CVE-2026-86219 affects Authen::SASL::Perl::DIGEST_MD5 versions before 2.2100, allowing attackers to replay authentication responses because the server_step function fails to verify the nonce. This cryptographic weakness in the Perl SASL library undermines the security of Digest MD5 authentication mechanisms.

Why it matters: Perl applications using Authen-SASL for DIGEST_MD5 authentication require immediate update to version 2.2100 or later to prevent attackers from bypassing authentication controls with captured credentials.

vulnerabilities

CVE-2026-86219: Authen::SASL::Perl::DIGEST_MD5 versions before 2.2100 for Perl accept replayed authentication responses via unverified nonce in server_step

Authen::SASL::Perl::DIGEST_MD5 versions before 2.2100 contain a vulnerability that allows attackers to replay authentication responses by exploiting unverified nonces in the server_step function. The Perl CPAN Security Group disclosed CVE-2026-86219 on September 6, 2026.

Why it matters: Perl applications using vulnerable versions of Authen-SASL for DIGEST_MD5 authentication face replay attacks that could allow unauthorized access; developers should upgrade to version 2.2100 or later.
