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 1.006 - 2008-10-06

  • Added username_field configuration option. I need this to play nice with Catalyst::Authentication::Store::Tangram.
  • Doc cleanups / clarifications related to RT#39838
