Security Advisories (2)
CVE-2024-58134 (2025-05-03)

Mojolicious versions from 0.999922 for Perl uses a hard coded string, or the application's class name, as a HMAC session secret by default. These predictable default secrets can be exploited to forge session cookies. An attacker who knows or guesses the secret could compute valid HMAC signatures for the session cookie, allowing them to tamper with or hijack another user's session.

CVE-2024-58135 (2025-05-03)

Mojolicious versions from 7.28 for Perl may generate weak HMAC session secrets. When creating a default app with the "mojo generate app" tool, a weak secret is written to the application's configuration file using the insecure rand() function, and used for authenticating and protecting the integrity of the application's sessions. This may allow an attacker to brute force the application's session keys.

NAME

Mojo::IOLoop::Stream - Non-blocking I/O stream

SYNOPSIS

use Mojo::IOLoop::Stream;

# Create stream
my $stream = Mojo::IOLoop::Stream->new($handle);
$stream->on(read => sub ($stream, $bytes) {...});
$stream->on(close => sub ($stream) {...});
$stream->on(error => sub ($stream, $err) {...});

# Start and stop watching for new data
$stream->start;
$stream->stop;

# Start reactor if necessary
$stream->reactor->start unless $stream->reactor->is_running;

DESCRIPTION

Mojo::IOLoop::Stream is a container for I/O streams used by Mojo::IOLoop.

EVENTS

Mojo::IOLoop::Stream inherits all events from Mojo::EventEmitter and can emit the following new ones.

close

$stream->on(close => sub ($stream) {...});

Emitted if the stream gets closed.

drain

$stream->on(drain => sub ($stream) {...});

Emitted once all data has been written.

error

$stream->on(error => sub ($stream, $err) {...});

Emitted if an error occurs on the stream, fatal if unhandled.

read

$stream->on(read => sub ($stream, $bytes) {...});

Emitted if new data arrives on the stream.

timeout

$stream->on(timeout => sub ($stream) {...});

Emitted if the stream has been inactive for too long and will get closed automatically.

write

$stream->on(write => sub ($stream, $bytes) {...});

Emitted if new data has been written to the stream.

ATTRIBUTES

Mojo::IOLoop::Stream implements the following attributes.

high_water_mark

my $size = $msg->high_water_mark;
$msg     = $msg->high_water_mark(1024);

Maximum size of "write" buffer in bytes before "can_write" returns false, defaults to 1048576 (1MiB).

reactor

my $reactor = $stream->reactor;
$stream     = $stream->reactor(Mojo::Reactor::Poll->new);

Low-level event reactor, defaults to the reactor attribute value of the global Mojo::IOLoop singleton. Note that this attribute is weakened.

METHODS

Mojo::IOLoop::Stream inherits all methods from Mojo::EventEmitter and implements the following new ones.

bytes_read

my $num = $stream->bytes_read;

Number of bytes received.

bytes_waiting

my $num = $stream->bytes_waiting;

Number of bytes that have been enqueued with "write" and are waiting to be written.

bytes_written

my $num = $stream->bytes_written;

Number of bytes written.

can_write

my $bool = $stream->can_write;

Returns true if calling "write" is safe.

close

$stream->close;

Close stream immediately.

close_gracefully

$stream->close_gracefully;

Close stream gracefully.

handle

my $handle = $stream->handle;

Get handle for stream, usually an IO::Socket::IP or IO::Socket::SSL object.

is_readable

my $bool = $stream->is_readable;

Quick non-blocking check if stream is readable, useful for identifying tainted sockets.

is_writing

my $bool = $stream->is_writing;

Check if stream is writing.

new

my $stream = Mojo::IOLoop::Stream->new($handle);

Construct a new Mojo::IOLoop::Stream object.

start

$stream->start;

Start or resume watching for new data on the stream.

steal_handle

my $handle = $stream->steal_handle;

Steal "handle" and prevent it from getting closed automatically.

stop

$stream->stop;

Stop watching for new data on the stream.

timeout

my $timeout = $stream->timeout;
$stream     = $stream->timeout(45);

Maximum amount of time in seconds stream can be inactive before getting closed automatically, defaults to 15. Setting the value to 0 will allow this stream to be inactive indefinitely.

write

$stream = $stream->write($bytes);
$stream = $stream->write($bytes => sub {...});

Enqueue data to be written to the stream as soon as possible, the optional drain callback will be executed once all data has been written.
