Mojo::DOM did not correctly parse <script> tags.

CPANSA-Mojolicious-2021-02 (2021-06-01)

Small sessions could be used as part of a brute-force attack to decode the session secret.

CVE-2021-47208 (2021-03-16)

A bug in format detection can potentially be exploited for a DoS attack.

CVE-2018-25100 (2018-02-13)

Mojo::UserAgent::CookieJar leaks old cookies because of the missing host_only flag on empty domain.

CPANSA-Mojolicious-2015-01 (2015-02-02)

Directory traversal on Windows

CPANSA-Mojolicious-2018-03 (2018-05-19)

Mojo::UserAgent was not checking peer SSL certificates by default.

CVE-2020-36829 (2020-11-10)

Mojo::Util secure_compare can leak the string length. By immediately returning when the two strings are not the same length, the function allows an attacker to guess the length of the secret string using timing attacks.

CPANSA-Mojolicious-2018-02 (2018-05-11)

GET requests with embedded backslashes can be used to access local files on Windows hosts

CPANSA-Mojolicious-2014-01 (2014-10-07)

Context sensitivity of method param could lead to parameter injection attacks.

CVE-2024-58134 (2025-05-03)

Mojolicious versions from 0.999922 for Perl uses a hard coded string, or the application's class name, as a HMAC session secret by default. These predictable default secrets can be exploited to forge session cookies. An attacker who knows or guesses the secret could compute valid HMAC signatures for the session cookie, allowing them to tamper with or hijack another user's session.

NAME

Mojo::IOLoop::Client - Non-blocking TCP client

SYNOPSIS

use Mojo::IOLoop::Client;

# Create socket connection
my $client = Mojo::IOLoop::Client->new;
$client->on(connect => sub {
  my ($client, $handle) = @_;
  ...
});
$client->on(error => sub {
  my ($client, $err) = @_;
  ...
});
$client->connect(address => 'mojolicio.us', port => 80);

DESCRIPTION

Mojo::IOLoop::Client opens TCP connections for Mojo::IOLoop.

EVENTS

Mojo::IOLoop::Client can emit the following events.

connect

$client->on(connect => sub {
  my ($client, $handle) = @_;
  ...
});

Emitted safely once the connection is established.

error

$client->on(error => sub {
  my ($client, $err) = @_;
  ...
});

Emitted safely if an error happens on the connection.

ATTRIBUTES

Mojo::IOLoop::Client implements the following attributes.

reactor

my $reactor = $client->reactor;
$client     = $client->reactor(Mojo::Reactor::Poll->new);

Low level event reactor, defaults to the reactor attribute value of the global Mojo::IOLoop singleton.

METHODS

Mojo::IOLoop::Client inherits all methods from Mojo::EventEmitter and implements the following new ones.

connect

$client->connect(address => '127.0.0.1', port => 3000);

Open a socket connection to a remote host. Note that TLS support depends on IO::Socket::SSL (1.75+) and IPv6 support on IO::Socket::IP (0.16+).

These options are currently available:

address

Address or host name of the peer to connect to, defaults to localhost.

handle

Use an already prepared handle.

local_address

Local address to bind to.

port

Port to connect to.

timeout

Maximum amount of time in seconds establishing connection may take before getting canceled, defaults to 10.

tls

Enable TLS.

tls_ca

Path to TLS certificate authority file. Also activates hostname verification.

tls_cert

Path to the TLS certificate file.

tls_key

Path to the TLS key file.
