Summary
SQL::Abstract for Perl versions from 1.90_01 before 2.000001_04 skip the injection_guard check for function names passed with -func. The explicit -func form places the name into the generated SQL unchecked, an improper neutralization of SQL elements (CWE-89). An application that relies on injection_guard to reject an untrusted function name passed with -func allows SQL injection.

Description from the CNA
SQL::Abstract versions from 1.90_01 before 2.000001_04 for Perl skip the injection_guard check for function names given with -func. injection_guard is documented to apply to every function name, but only the { -name => ... } shorthand goes through it. The explicit { -func => [ $name, ... ] } form puts $name into the SQL unchecked. An application that relies on injection_guard to reject an untrusted function name passed with -func allows SQL injection.
