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 1.003 - 2008-09-11

  • Add ability to override the realm name presented for authentication when calling $c->authenticate. Documentation and tests for this.

  • Tests for the authorization_required_message configuration parameter.
  • Document use_uri_for configuration option
  • Document domain option (passed through from $c->authenticate) and add tests for this option.
