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 1.001 - 2008-09-02

  • Fix some of the assumptions about the user class by inheriting from the Catalyst::Authentication::Credential::Password module. This should make using DBIC as a store work correctly for basic auth.
  • Updated synopsis and todo list, this module still needs some work before it's ready for prime time again..
