Fixed a possible directory traversal with Plack::App::File on Win32.

CPANSA-Plack-2014-0801 (2014-08-01)

Plack::App::File would previously strip trailing slashes off provided paths. This in combination with the common pattern of serving files with Plack::Middleware::Static could allow an attacker to bypass a whitelist of generated files

CPANSA-Plack-2013-0131 (2013-01-31)

Fixed directory traversal bug in Plack::App::File on win32 environments

CVE-2026-7381 (2026-04-29)

Plack::Middleware::XSendfile versions through 1.0053 for Perl can allow client-controlled path rewriting. Plack::Middleware::XSendfile allows the variation setting (sendfile type) to be set by the client via the X-Sendfile-Type header, if it is not considered in the middleware constructor or the Plack environment. A malicious client can set the X-Sendfile-Type header to "X-Accel-Redirect" to services running behind nginx reverse proxies, and then set the X-Accel-Mapping to map the path to an arbitrary file on the server. Since 1.0053, Plack::Middleware::XSendfile is deprecated and will be removed from future releases of Plack. This is similar to CVE-2025-61780 for Rack::Sendfile, although Plack::Middleware::XSendfile has some mitigations that disallow regular expressions to be used in the mapping, and only apply the mapping for the "X-Accel-Redirect" type.

NAME

Plack::Server - Standard interface for Plack implementations

SYNOPSIS

my $server = Plack::Server::XXX->new(%args);
$server->run($app);

DESCRIPTION

Plack::Server is a base class of Plack PSGI implementations. Plack::Server may inherit from this class, but as long as they implement the methods defined as an Server unified interface, they do not need to inherit Plack::Server.

METHODS

new
$server = Plack::Server::XXX->new(%args);

Creates a new implementation object. %args can take arbitrary parameters per implementations but common parameters are:

port

Port number the server listens to.

address

Address the server listens to. Set to undef to listen any interface.

run
$server->run($app)

Starts the server process and when a request comes in, run the PSGI application passed in $app.
