CVE-2025-40920 (2025-08-11)

Catalyst::Authentication::Credential::HTTP versions 1.018 and earlier for Perl generate nonces using the Perl Data::UUID library. * Data::UUID does not use a strong cryptographic source for generating UUIDs. * Data::UUID returns v3 UUIDs, which are generated from known information and are unsuitable for security, as per RFC 9562. * The nonces should be generated from a strong cryptographic source, as per RFC 7616.

Changes for version 1.000 - 2008-09-01

  • Rename to remove Plugin from namespace. This is a pretty breaking change, as lots of things work differently with the new auth refactor.
  • Pull out some functionality which I think is better in other modules (realms/stores). With the auth refactor, this module didn't need to do so much. If anyone misses any of the functionality, please yell at me and I'll put it back.
