HTTP::Tiny v0.082, a Perl core module since v5.13.9 and available standalone on CPAN, does not verify TLS certs by default. Users must opt-in with the verify_SSL=>1 flag to verify certs when using HTTPS.
Resulting in a CWE-1188: Insecure Default Initialization of Resource weakness.
The 'proxy' attribute no longer takes precedence over the 'http_proxy' environment variable. With the addition of http_proxy and https_proxy attributes (and corresponding environment variable defaults), the legacy 'proxy' attribute now maps to the all_proxy/ALL_PROXY environment variable and only takes effect when other proxy attributes are not defined.
