CVE-2025-40925 (2025-09-20)

Starch versions 0.14 and earlier generate session ids insecurely. The default session id generator returns a SHA-1 hash seeded with a counter, the epoch time, the built-in rand function, the PID, and internal Perl reference addresses. The PID will come from a small set of numbers, and the epoch time may be guessed, if it is not leaked from the HTTP Date header. The built-in rand function is unsuitable for cryptographic usage. Predicable session ids could allow an attacker to gain access to systems.

NAME

Starch::Plugin::AlwaysLoad - Always retrieve state data.

SYNOPSIS

my $starch = Starch->new(
    plugins => ['::AlwaysLoad'],
    ...,
);

DESCRIPTION

This plugin causes "data" in Starch::State to be always loaded from the store as soon as the state object is created. By default the state data is only retrieved from the store when it is first accessed.
