Security Advisories (1)
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::LogStoreExceptions - Turn Starch store exceptions into log messages.

SYNOPSIS

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

DESCRIPTION

This plugin causes any exceptions thrown when set, get, or remove is called on a store to produce an error log message instead of an exception.

Typically you'll want to use this in production, as the state store being down is often not enough of a reason to produce 500 errors on every page.

This plugin should be listed last in the plugin list so that it catches exceptions produced by other plugins.
