Description John Helmert III gentoo-dev Security 2021-12-13 19:50:16 UTC 
CVE-2020-16154:

The App::cpanminus package 1.7044 for Perl allows Signature Verification Bypass.

I can't tell if there's a fixed version based on URL.

No motion upstream since 2018... 108 open bugs...

That said, by default cpanm doesnt verify signatures at all anyway.
