CVE-2023-7101 (2023-12-24)

Spreadsheet::ParseExcel version 0.65 is a Perl module used for parsing Excel files. Spreadsheet::ParseExcel is vulnerable to an arbitrary code execution (ACE) vulnerability due to passing unvalidated input from a file into a string-type “eval”. Specifically, the issue stems from the evaluation of Number format strings (not to be confused with printf-style format strings) within the Excel parsing logic.

Changes for version 0.40

  • Changed maintainership to John McNamara.
  • Fixed bug when parsing RK numbers (generally ints or small floats). http://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=39892
  • Changed margin units to inches to (cleanly) avoid undef warning in SaveParser.
