CVE-2026-40560 (2026-04-28)

Starman versions before 0.4018 for Perl allows HTTP Request Smuggling via Improper Header Precedence. Starman incorrectly prioritizes "Content-Length" over "Transfer-Encoding: chunked" when both headers are present in an HTTP request. Per RFC 7230 3.3.3, Transfer-Encoding must take precedence. An attacker could exploit this to smuggle malicious HTTP requests via a front-end reverse proxy.

Changes for version 0.2008_1

  • Requires Plack 0.9971 to support localizing $0 to fix the FindBin issues #7, #15, #18, #19
  • Calls srand() automatically in the child init hook to avoid a fixed random seed #20
