Description

File::Find::Rule through 0.34 for Perl is vulnerable to Arbitrary Code Execution when `grep()` encounters a crafted filename.
A file handle is opened with the 2 argument form of `open()` allowing an attacker controlled filename to provide the MODE parameter to `open()`, turning the filename into a command to be executed.
Example:
$ mkdir /tmp/poc; echo > "/tmp/poc/|id"
$ perl -MFile::Find::Rule \
    -E 'File::Find::Rule->grep("foo")->in("/tmp/poc")'
uid=1000(user) gid=1000(user) groups=1000(user),100(users)
A flaw was found in perl-file-find-rule. The `grep()` function within `File::Find::Rule` versions up to 0.34 is vulnerable to arbitrary code execution if provided with a specially crafted filename. This vulnerability allows an attacker to supply a filename that, when opened, executes arbitrary code via the `open()` function's mode parameter. Consequently, an attacker can achieve remote code execution by providing a malicious filename.
