CVE-2026-60075 is a denial-of-service vulnerability in Date::Manip for Perl affecting versions through 6.99. The flaw is in the _parse_time routine, which performs an unanchored substitution using a generated time-matching regular expression. Because the expression can be retried at many positions within a long interior whitespace run, the Perl regex engine performs quadratic backtracking when no valid time token is present. The leading whitespace-matching branch greedily consumes the run, the time alternation fails, and the engine backtracks one character at a time before advancing and repeating the process. This causes parse time to grow nonlinearly with input length. Any application that passes untrusted, unbounded strings into ParseDate(), Date::Manip::Date->parse(), or parse_time() can be forced to spend excessive CPU time processing a single input.
