Answer in brief
CVE-2026-15392 records a High severity (CVSS 7.7) vulnerability in DBD::File versions before 1.651 for Perl do not ensure the table file is not a symlink to an untrusted location. The current sources do not mark it as known exploited. The current feed maps HMBRAND/DBD::File (generic). Check affected ranges and fixed versions before updating.
Analysis pending evidence review
HOL Guard separates source facts from reviewed analysis. See the methodology.
CVSS is 7.7. The current sources do not mark it as known exploited. Treat this as a source-backed prioritization signal, not a statement about your environment.

DBD::File versions before 1.651 for Perl do not ensure the table file is not a symlink to an untrusted location. The complete_table_name method builds the absolute table file path without checking whether the file is a symbolic link. A link inside the data directory can point to a table file at any path outside of the configured f_dir and f_dir_search directories. Callers of file-based drivers can read or write files outside of the data directory.
