Security Advisories (1)
CVE-2026-5080 (2026-04-30)

Dancer::Session::Abstract versions through 1.3522 for Perl generates session ids insecurely. The session id is generated from summing the character codepoints of the absolute pathname with the process id, the epoch time and calls to the built-in rand() function to return a number between 0 and 999-billion, and concatenating that result three times. The path name might be known or guessed by an attacker, especially for applications known to be written using Dancer with standard installation locations. The epoch time can be guessed by an attacker, and may be leaked in the HTTP header. The process id comes from a small set of numbers, and workers may have sequential process ids. The built-in rand() function is seeded with 32-bits and is considered unsuitable for security applications. Predictable session ids could allow an attacker to gain access to systems.

NAME

Dancer::Logger::Note - Test::More note() logging engine for Dancer

VERSION

version 1.3522

SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

This logging engine uses Test::More's note() to output as TAP comments.

This is very useful in case you're writing a test and want to have logging messages as part of your TAP.

"Like diag(), except the message will not be seen when the test is run in a harness. It will only be visible in the verbose TAP stream." -- Test::More.

METHODS

init

This method is called when ->new() is called. It just loads Test::More lazily.

_log

Use Test::More's note() to output the log message.
