Hi,

The following vulnerability was published for libnet-statsd-perl.

CVE-2026-46739[0]:
| Net::Statsd versions before 0.13 for Perl allow metric injections.
| The metric names are not checked for newlines, colons or pipes.
| Metrics generated from untrusted sources could inject additional
| statsd metrics.  The update_stats (used for updating counters) and
| gauge methods do not check that values are numeric (which would
| block metric injection).


If you fix the vulnerability please also make sure to include the
CVE (Common Vulnerabilities & Exposures) id in your changelog entry.
