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-2017-01 (2017-11-06)

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.

NAME

HTTP::Cookies::Netscape - access to Netscape cookies files

SYNOPSIS

use LWP;
use HTTP::Cookies::Netscape;
$cookie_jar = HTTP::Cookies::Netscape->new(
  file => "c:/program files/netscape/users/ZombieCharity/cookies.txt",
);
my $browser = LWP::UserAgent->new;
$browser->cookie_jar( $cookie_jar );

DESCRIPTION

This is a subclass of HTTP::Cookies that reads (and optionally writes) Netscape/Mozilla cookie files.

See the documentation for HTTP::Cookies.

CAVEATS

Please note that the Netscape/Mozilla cookie file format can't store all the information available in the Set-Cookie2 headers, so you will probably lose some information if you save in this format.

At time of writing, this module seems to work fine with Mozilla Phoenix/Firebird.
