CVE-2025-40909 (2025-05-30)

Perl threads have a working directory race condition where file operations may target unintended paths. If a directory handle is open at thread creation, the process-wide current working directory is temporarily changed in order to clone that handle for the new thread, which is visible from any third (or more) thread already running. This may lead to unintended operations such as loading code or accessing files from unexpected locations, which a local attacker may be able to exploit. The bug was introduced in commit 11a11ecf4bea72b17d250cfb43c897be1341861e and released in Perl version 5.13.6

NAME

TAP::Parser::Result::Plan - Plan result token.

VERSION

Version 3.48

1..1
ok 1 - woo hooo!

1..1 is the plan. Gotta have a plan.

OVERRIDDEN METHODS

Mainly listed here to shut up the pitiful screams of the pod coverage tests. They keep me awake at night.

  • as_string

  • raw

Instance Methods

plan

if ( $result->is_plan ) {
   print $result->plan;
}

This is merely a synonym for as_string.

tests_planned

my $planned = $result->tests_planned;

Returns the number of tests planned. For example, a plan of 1..17 will cause this method to return '17'.

directive

my $directive = $plan->directive; 

If a SKIP directive is included with the plan, this method will return it.

1..0 # SKIP: why bother?

has_skip

if ( $result->has_skip ) { ... }

Returns a boolean value indicating whether or not this test has a SKIP directive.

explanation

my $explanation = $plan->explanation;

If a SKIP directive was included with the plan, this method will return the explanation, if any.

todo_list

my $todo = $result->todo_list;
for ( @$todo ) {
    ...
}
