CVE-2011-10043Network attack vector

Code execution via leading namespace delimiters

Published Jul 7, 2026 · Updated Jul 7, 2026

Arbitrary code execution in BINGOS Module::Load before 0.22 allows attackers to load modules outside @INC via crafted names. Module::Load::_to_file converts a name beginning with :: into an absolute module path and passes that result into Perl's loading process without rejecting the leading delimiters. Exploitation requires control of a module name supplied by a consuming program, after which code in the selected module executes with that program's privileges.
