Starman-0.3002 - High-performance preforking PSGI/Plack web server - metacpan.org

Security Advisories (1)

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 0.3002 - 2012-09-25

Added a documentation for --signal-on-term for Server::Starter 0.12 (kazuho, ether)
Set REMOTE_PORT PSGI environment variable #50 (dex4er)
Fix a test failure with a directory containing whitespace (clkao)
