CVE-2026-14740 is a one-byte out-of-bounds read in the Perl DBI preparse method in versions before 1.650. The preparse method normalizes SQL and removes comments. When an SQL statement begins with a comment line, deleting that initial line during normalization reads one byte beyond the intended bounds.
