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.

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::Message::Request - HTTP request

SYNOPSIS

use Mojo::Message::Request;

# Parse
my $req = Mojo::Message::Request->new;
$req->parse("GET /foo HTTP/1.0\x0a\x0d");
$req->parse("Content-Length: 12\x0a\x0d\x0a\x0d");
$req->parse("Content-Type: text/plain\x0a\x0d\x0a\x0d");
$req->parse('Hello World!');
say $req->method;
say $req->headers->content_type;
say $req->body;

# Build
my $req = Mojo::Message::Request->new;
$req->url->parse('http://127.0.0.1/foo/bar');
$req->method('GET');
say $req->to_string;

DESCRIPTION

Mojo::Message::Request is a container for HTTP requests as described in RFC 2616.

EVENTS

Mojo::Message::Request inherits all events from Mojo::Message.

ATTRIBUTES

Mojo::Message::Request inherits all attributes from Mojo::Message and implements the following new ones.

env

my $env = $req->env;
$req    = $req->env({});

Direct access to the CGI or PSGI environment hash if available.

# Check CGI version
my $version = $req->env->{GATEWAY_INTERFACE};

# Check PSGI version
my $version = $req->env->{'psgi.version'};

method

my $method = $req->method;
$req       = $req->method('POST');

HTTP request method, defaults to GET.

url

my $url = $req->url;
$req    = $req->url(Mojo::URL->new);

HTTP request URL, defaults to a Mojo::URL object.

# Get request path
say $req->url->path;

METHODS

Mojo::Message::Request inherits all methods from Mojo::Message and implements the following new ones.

clone

my $clone = $req->clone;

Clone request if possible, otherwise return undef.

cookies

my $cookies = $req->cookies;
$req        = $req->cookies(Mojo::Cookie::Request->new);
$req        = $req->cookies({name => 'foo', value => 'bar'});

Access request cookies, usually Mojo::Cookie::Request objects.

extract_start_line

my $success = $req->extract_start_line(\$string);

Extract request line from string.

fix_headers

$req = $req->fix_headers;

Make sure request has all required headers for the current HTTP version.

get_start_line_chunk

my $string = $req->get_start_line_chunk($offset);

Get a chunk of request line data starting from a specific position.

is_secure

my $success = $req->is_secure;

Check if connection is secure.

is_xhr

my $success = $req->is_xhr;

Check X-Requested-With header for XMLHttpRequest value.

param

my @names = $req->param;
my $foo   = $req->param('foo');
my @foo   = $req->param('foo');

Access GET and POST parameters. Note that this method caches all data, so it should not be called before the entire request body has been received.

params

my $p = $req->params;

All GET and POST parameters, usually a Mojo::Parameters object. Note that this method caches all data, so it should not be called before the entire request body has been received.

# Get parameter value
say $req->params->param('foo');

parse

$req = $req->parse('GET /foo/bar HTTP/1.1');
$req = $req->parse(REQUEST_METHOD => 'GET');
$req = $req->parse({REQUEST_METHOD => 'GET'});

Parse HTTP request chunks or environment hash.

proxy

my $proxy = $req->proxy;
$req      = $req->proxy('http://foo:bar@127.0.0.1:3000');
$req      = $req->proxy(Mojo::URL->new('http://127.0.0.1:3000'));

Proxy URL for request.

# Disable proxy
$req->proxy(0);

query_params

my $p = $req->query_params;

All GET parameters, usually a Mojo::Parameters object.

# Turn GET parameters to hash and extract value
say $req->query_params->to_hash->{foo};
