Two-arg open with user data (command injection)\nopen my $fh, $user_input;               # CRITICAL vulnerability\n\n# 2. String-form system (shell injection)\nsystem(\"convert $user_file output.png\"); # CRITICAL vulnerability\n\n# 3.

Disabling taint without validation\n($input) = $input =~ \u002F(.*)\u002Fs;           # Lazy untaint — defeats purpose\n\n# 7. Raw user data in HTML\nprint \"\u003Cdiv>Welcome, $username!\u003C\u002Fdiv>\";  # XSS\n\n# 8. Unvalidated redirects\nprint $cgi->redirect($user_url);         # Open redirect\n```\n\n**Remember**: Perl's flexibility is powerful but requires discipline. Use taint mode for web-facing code, validate all input with allowlists, use DBI placeholders for every query, and encode all output for its context.

Two-arg open with user data (command injection)\nopen my $fh, $user_input;               # CRITICAL vulnerability\n\n# 2. String-form system (shell injection)\nsystem(\"convert $user_file output.png\"); # CRITICAL vulnerability\n\n# 3. SQL string interpolation\n$dbh->do(\"DELETE FROM users WHERE id = $id\");  # SQLi\n\n# 4. eval with user input (code injection)\neval $user_code;                         # Remote code execution\n\n# 5. Trusting $ENV without sanitizing\nmy $path = $ENV{UPLOAD_DIR};             # Could be manipulated\nsystem(\"ls $path\");                      # Double vulnerability\n\n# 6. Disabling taint without validation\n($input) = $input =~ \u002F(.*)\u002Fs;           # Lazy untaint — defeats purpose\n\n# 7. Raw user data in HTML\nprint \"\u003Cdiv>Welcome, $username!\u003C\u002Fdiv>\";  # XSS\n\n# 8. Unvalidated redirects\nprint $cgi->redirect($user_url);         # Open redirect\n```\n\n**Remember**: Perl's flexibility is powerful but requires discipline. Use taint mode for web-facing code, validate all input with allowlists, use DBI placeholders for every query, and encode all output for its context. Defense in depth — never rely on a single layer.\n",{"name":5,"origin":40,"description":7},"ECC","main","b0f0a87593c578a7898eccaf1b363f7f87c1f99b","plugins\u002FColin4k1024\u002Ftsp\u002Fskills\u002Fperl-security",468,"https:\u002F\u002Fgithub.com\u002Fhashgraph-online\u002Fawesome-codex-plugins","https:\u002F\u002Fhol.org\u002Fplugins\u002Fbest-codex-plugins","https:\u002F\u002Fgithub.com\u002Fhashgraph-online","https:\u002F\u002Fhol.org","Open-source standards and developer tools for interoperable AI agents: discovery, identity, communication, payments, privacy and security.","2026-11-11 02:22:54",{"source":8,"skillName":5,"commands":52,"prompt":62,"zipAvailable":63},[53,56,59],{"tool":54,"command":55},"npx","npx skills add hashgraph-online\u002Fawesome-codex-plugins --skill perl-security",{"tool":57,"command":58},"bunx","bunx skills add hashgraph-online\u002Fawesome-codex-plugins --skill perl-security",{"tool":60,"command":61},"pnpm","pnpm dlx skills add hashgraph-online\u002Fawesome-codex-plugins --skill perl-security","安装技能，技能地址：https:\u002F\u002Fgithub.com\u002Fhashgraph-online\u002Fawesome-codex-plugins\u002Fblob\u002Fmain\u002Fplugins\u002FColin4k1024\u002Ftsp\u002Fskills\u002Fperl-security\u002FSKILL.md",true,[],[66,93,118,152,173,187],{"skillNo":67,"name":68,"nameZh":6,"description":69,"descriptionZh":6,"repositoryFullName":8,"ownerLogin":9,"ownerAvatarUrl":10,"ownerAccountNo":11,"ownerDisplayName":12,"repositoryNo":13,"starsCount":14,"licenseSpdxId":15,"licenseFileUrl":6,"sourceHtmlUrl":70,"categories":71,"keywords":72,"publishedAt":35},"01M716A6ETNB9B1SQ3GXZC75VR","deja-search","deja-vu memory — search the user's past AI coding sessions with the deja CLI.
