CVE-2026-93709 analysis covering impact, affected products, versions, remediation, and cross-checked defender guidance.
CVE-2026-93709 is a vulnerability published by NVD on 9/22/2026.
What happened
Dancer2 versions before 2.2.0 for Perl serve a layout as a page when an equivalent spelling of its path misses the guard in the AutoPage handler.
The handler compares the request path against the layout directory name as text, while the lookup that follows canonicalises it. A doubled slash, a dot segment, a percent-encoded slash, or a different capitalisation on a case-insensitive filesystem therefore misses the guard.
The handler is off by default, enabled with auto_page. The layout wrapping every page is already public, so this discloses one of the application's other layouts.
