CVE-2026-85630: HTML::FormHandler versions before 0.410002 for Perl render field attributes into HTML without escaping using the process_attrs method

CVE-2026-85630 affects HTML::FormHandler for Perl before version 0.410002, which fails to escape field attributes when rendering HTML through the process_attrs method. This vulnerability allows injection of unescaped content into HTML output, creating a cross-site scripting (XSS) risk.

Why it matters: Perl developers using HTML::FormHandler to generate forms must upgrade to version 0.410002 or later to prevent attackers from injecting malicious scripts through field attributes.
