CVE-2026-120637

CGI versions before 5.00 for Perl take request parameters from the process command line arguments for an unrecognised REQUEST_METHOD. For a REQUEST_METHOD such as OPTIONS, CGI falls through to its offline debugging mode, which is on by default, and builds the parameters and path_info from the process's command line arguments.

Template for a VuXML entry

Check the content

Check the version numbers before you commit this entry. Some ports share an entry in the CVE database with another port, such as sqlite2 and sqlite3. The version shown here may then be one that never existed for this port.

Ranges per package from the CVE rows that match this port, in pkg notation with the port's epoch and revision, every bound checked with pkg; one range per epoch the port actually had. make newentry in security/vuxml creates the vid.

No CPE in the port Makefile

www/p5-CGI (CPE matched by the package name) has no USES=cpe. The CVE was matched through a CPE from another source, so the package and the version range may belong to a different product. Check the CVE record before using this entry.
