CVE-2026-97230
Perl IO::Socket::SSL::SelfCertificate Executes Obfuscated Python Code
Halo Surface Signal: 1 out of 5 — much less likely to be public-facing.
A vulnerability in a Perl module allows arbitrary Python code execution when a specially crafted certificate file is processed. This occurs because the code retrieves and runs obfuscated Python from a URL without saving a file, posing a risk if the function is invoked in affected environments.
