CPANSA-Mojolicious-2018-02 (2018-05-11)

GET requests with embedded backslashes can be used to access local files on Windows hosts

CVE-2018-25100 (2018-02-13)

Mojo::UserAgent::CookieJar leaks old cookies because of the missing host_only flag on empty domain.

CPANSA-Mojolicious-2015-01 (2015-02-02)

Directory traversal on Windows

CPANSA-Mojolicious-2014-01 (2014-10-07)

Context sensitivity of method param could lead to parameter injection attacks.

CVE-2011-1589 (2011-04-05)

Directory traversal vulnerability in Path.pm in Mojolicious before 1.16 allows remote attackers to read arbitrary files via a %2f..%2f (encoded slash dot dot slash) in a URI.

CVE-2010-4803 (2011-05-03)

Mojolicious before 0.999927 does not properly implement HMAC-MD5 checksums, which has unspecified impact and remote attack vectors.

CVE-2010-4802 (2011-05-03)

Commands.pm in Mojolicious before 0.999928 does not properly perform CGI environment detection, which has unspecified impact and remote attack vectors.

CVE-2011-1841 (2011-03-10)

Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the link_to helper in Mojolicious before 1.12 allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via unspecified vectors.

CVE-2026-14803 (2026-07-06)

Mojo::JSON versions before 9.47 for Perl allow memory exhaustion via unbounded recursion in the pure-Perl decoder. The pure-Perl decode path (`_decode_value` dispatching to `_decode_array` and `_decode_object`) recurses with no depth limit, so a small deeply nested JSON document can consume excessive memory. This path is the default when Cpanel::JSON::XS is not installed or `MOJO_NO_JSON_XS=1` is set; the Cpanel::JSON::XS fast path is not affected. Any caller that decodes an untrusted JSON body, for example `Mojo::Message::json` reached through `$c->req->json`, can exhaust process memory and cause denial of service.

QUESTIONS

I think i have found a bug, what should i do now?

Prepare a test case demonstrating the bug, you are not expected to fix it yourself, but you'll have to make sure the developers can replicate your problem. Sending in your whole application generally does more harm than good, the t directory of this distribution has many good examples for how to do it right. Writing a test is usually the hardest part of fixing a bug, so the better your test case the faster it can be fixed. ;)

Now you are ready to contact the developers via GitHub (http://github.com/kraih/mojo), mailing list (http://groups.google.com/group/mojolicious) or IRC (#mojo on irc.perl.org).

If you decide to fix the bug yourself make sure to take a look at Mojolicious::Book::CodingGuidelines too.
