The US Government's Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Agency (CISA) is warning of a major vulnerability in an open-source Perl library that reads Excel files.
In a security advisory published earlier this week, CISA said that there is a major bug in the library called Spreadsheet::ParseExcel. The bug, now tracked as CVE-2023-7101, is described as a remote code execution (RCE) flaw, meaning it could be used by threat actors to deploy and run different malware, including ransomware.
