Image::WebP does not link to the system libwebp. Instead, it uses a bundled copy of libwebp 0.3.0 (released 2013-03-20). That version has multiple known vulnerabilities, including CVE-2023-4863.
Any caller that decodes an untrusted WebP image reaches the bundled decoder. Because the library is compiled into the module, upgrading the system libwebp does not remediate this.
No advisories yet.
Solution
Image::WebP has not been updated since 2013. Migrate to a different solution, such as Imager with Imager::File::WEBP.
Workaround
No workaround given by the vendor.
