CPAN.pm is vulnerable to Improper Certificate Validation. The vulnerability is caused due to not verifying TLS certificates when downloading distributions over HTTPS because verify_ssl is missing when using HTTP::Tiny library during the connection. This can allow an attacker to inject into the network path and perform a Man-In-The-Middle attack, causing confidentiality or integrity issues.
