LWP::Protocol::file can open existent file from file:// scheme. However, current version of LWP uses open FILEHANDLE,EXPR and it has ability to execute arbitrary command

CVE-2011-0633 (2011-01-20)

The Net::HTTPS module in libwww-perl (LWP) before 6.00, as used in WWW::Mechanize, LWP::UserAgent, and other products, when running in environments that do not set the If-SSL-Cert-Subject header, does not enable full validation of SSL certificates by default, which allows remote attackers to spoof servers via man-in-the-middle (MITM) attacks involving hostnames that are not properly validated.

CVE-2010-2253 (2010-07-06)

lwp-download in libwww-perl before 5.835 does not reject downloads to filenames that begin with a . (dot) character, which allows remote servers to create or overwrite files via (1) a 3xx redirect to a URL with a crafted filename or (2) a Content-Disposition header that suggests a crafted filename, and possibly execute arbitrary code as a consequence of writing to a dotfile in a home directory.

CPANSA-libwww-perl-2001-01 (2001-03-14)

If LWP::UserAgent::env_proxy is called in a CGI environment, the case-insensitivity when looking for "http_proxy" permits "HTTP_PROXY" to be found, but this can be trivially set by the web client using the "Proxy:" header.

NAME

HTTP::Message - Class encapsulating HTTP messages

DESCRIPTION

A HTTP::Message object contains some headers and a content (body). The class is used as a pure virtual base class for HTTP::Request and HTTP::Response.

METHODS

$mess = new HTTP::Message

Object constructor. It should normally only be called internally by this library. External code should construct HTTP::Request or HTTP::Response objects.

$mess->clone()

Returns a copy of the object.

$mess->content([$content])

$mess->add_content($data)

These methods manages the content of the message. The content() method sets the content if an argument is given. If no argument is given the content is not touched. In either case the previous content is returned.

The add_content() methods appends data to the content.

$mess->header($field [, $val]))

$mess->push_header($field, $val)

$mess->remove_header($field)

$mess->headers_as_string([$endl])

These methods provide easy access to the fields for the request header.

All unknown HTTP::Message methods are delegated to the HTTP::Headers object that is part of every message. This allows convenient access to these methods. Refer to HTTP::Headers for details.
