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::Reactor::Poll - Low-level event reactor with poll support

SYNOPSIS

use Mojo::Reactor::Poll;

# Watch if handle becomes readable or writable
my $reactor = Mojo::Reactor::Poll->new;
$reactor->io($first => sub ($reactor, $writable) {
  say $writable ? 'First handle is writable' : 'First handle is readable';
});

# Change to watching only if handle becomes writable
$reactor->watch($first, 0, 1);

# Turn file descriptor into handle and watch if it becomes readable
my $second = IO::Handle->new_from_fd($fd, 'r');
$reactor->io($second => sub ($reactor, $writable) {
  say $writable ? 'Second handle is writable' : 'Second handle is readable';
})->watch($second, 1, 0);

# Add a timer
$reactor->timer(15 => sub ($reactor) {
  $reactor->remove($first);
  $reactor->remove($second);
  say 'Timeout!';
});

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

DESCRIPTION

Mojo::Reactor::Poll is a low-level event reactor based on IO::Poll.

EVENTS

Mojo::Reactor::Poll inherits all events from Mojo::Reactor.

METHODS

Mojo::Reactor::Poll inherits all methods from Mojo::Reactor and implements the following new ones.

again

$reactor->again($id);
$reactor->again($id, 0.5);

Restart timer and optionally change the invocation time. Note that this method requires an active timer.

io

$reactor = $reactor->io($handle => sub {...});

Watch handle for I/O events, invoking the callback whenever handle becomes readable or writable.

# Callback will be executed twice if handle becomes readable and writable
$reactor->io($handle => sub ($reactor, $writable) {
  say $writable ? 'Handle is writable' : 'Handle is readable';
});

is_running

my $bool = $reactor->is_running;

Check if reactor is running.

next_tick

my $undef = $reactor->next_tick(sub {...});

Execute callback as soon as possible, but not before returning or other callbacks that have been registered with this method, always returns undef.

one_tick

$reactor->one_tick;

Run reactor until an event occurs or no events are being watched anymore.

# Don't block longer than 0.5 seconds
my $id = $reactor->timer(0.5 => sub {});
$reactor->one_tick;
$reactor->remove($id);

recurring

my $id = $reactor->recurring(0.25 => sub {...});

Create a new recurring timer, invoking the callback repeatedly after a given amount of time in seconds.

remove

my $bool = $reactor->remove($handle);
my $bool = $reactor->remove($id);

Remove handle or timer.

reset

$reactor->reset;

Remove all handles and timers.

start

$reactor->start;

Start watching for I/O and timer events, this will block until "stop" is called or no events are being watched anymore.

# Start reactor only if it is not running already
$reactor->start unless $reactor->is_running;

stop

$reactor->stop;

Stop watching for I/O and timer events.

timer

my $id = $reactor->timer(0.5 => sub {...});

Create a new timer, invoking the callback after a given amount of time in seconds.

watch

$reactor = $reactor->watch($handle, $readable, $writable);

Change I/O events to watch handle for with true and false values. Note that this method requires an active I/O watcher.

# Watch only for readable events
$reactor->watch($handle, 1, 0);

# Watch only for writable events
$reactor->watch($handle, 0, 1);

# Watch for readable and writable events
$reactor->watch($handle, 1, 1);

# Pause watching for events
$reactor->watch($handle, 0, 0);
