CVE-2026-13713 is a use-after-free and double-free vulnerability in the bundled libsyck parser used by YAML::Syck for Perl before version 1.47. When an anchor is redefined or removed, the anchor handlers can free its SyckNode while that node remains referenced by the parser value stack. Subsequent processing in syck_hdlr_add_node can reach and free the same node again. The flaw is reachable through the default YAML::Syck Load parsing path without special feature flags.
