CPANSA-Plack-Middleware-Statsd-2025-001 (2025-05-13)

Stats for request methods are only counted for ASCII words, anything else is counted as 'other'. Stats for content types are only counted for well-formed types.

CVE-2026-45179 (2026-05-10)

Plack::Middleware::Statsd versions before 0.9.0 for Perl may leak user IP addresses. If the communication channel to the statsd daemon is not secured (for example, by sending UDP packets to a host on another network), then users' IP addresses may be leaked. Since version 0.9.0, the IP address is no longer logged to statsd unless configured. When configured, an HMAC signature of the IP address is logged instead.

Changes for version v0.4.0 - 2020-03-21 (TRIAL RELEASE)

  • Enhancements
    • Some initialisation is done beforehand, which should result in a slight performance improvement.
    • Added histogram, increment and set_count attributes which are code references for methods that do the actual logging.
  • Incompatabilities
    • The client is required, and not initialised from the psgix.monitor.statsd key in the environment.
  • Documentation
    • Made better use of Pod::Weaver commands.
    • Bumped copyright year
  • Other
    • Renamed internal variables for consistency.
    • Show more module versions in test diagnostics.
