Hi,

The following vulnerability was published for libnet-whois-raw-perl.

CVE-2026-19954[0]:
| Net::Whois::Raw versions before 2.99044 for Perl ship a pwhois
| command-line tool that queries WHOIS for the wrong domain for
| unicode domain names.  pwhois encodes each non-ASCII label directly
| using Net::IDN::Punycode and prepends xn--. Apart from lowercasing
| ASCII and Cyrillic letters, it skips the IDNA mapping and
| normalization steps, so a label with other uppercase letters, or not
| in NFC, encodes to a different A-label than its IDNA form. For
| example, a label of U+00C9 followed by &quot;cole&quot; encodes to &quot;xn--cole-
| pka&quot; rather than &quot;xn--cole-9oa&quot;.  The Net::Whois::Raw library
| modules are not affected.


If you fix the vulnerability please also make sure to include the
CVE (Common Vulnerabilities &amp; Exposures) id in your changelog entry.
