Security Advisories (10)
CPANSA-Mojolicious-2022-03 (2022-12-10)

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::Server::Daemon - Non-blocking I/O HTTP and WebSocket server

SYNOPSIS

use Mojo::Server::Daemon;

my $daemon = Mojo::Server::Daemon->new(listen => ['http://*:8080']);
$daemon->unsubscribe('request');
$daemon->on(request => sub {
  my ($daemon, $tx) = @_;

  # Request
  my $method = $tx->req->method;
  my $path   = $tx->req->url->path;

  # Response
  $tx->res->code(200);
  $tx->res->headers->content_type('text/plain');
  $tx->res->body("$method request for $path!");

  # Resume transaction
  $tx->resume;
});
$daemon->run;

DESCRIPTION

Mojo::Server::Daemon is a full featured, highly portable non-blocking I/O HTTP and WebSocket server, with IPv6, TLS, Comet (long polling), keep-alive, connection pooling, timeout, cookie, multipart and multiple event loop support.

For better scalability (epoll, kqueue) and to provide IPv6 as well as TLS support, the optional modules EV (4.0+), IO::Socket::IP (0.20+) and IO::Socket::SSL (1.84+) will be used automatically by Mojo::IOLoop if they are installed. Individual features can also be disabled with the MOJO_NO_IPV6 and MOJO_NO_TLS environment variables.

See "DEPLOYMENT" in Mojolicious::Guides::Cookbook for more.

EVENTS

Mojo::Server::Daemon inherits all events from Mojo::Server.

ATTRIBUTES

Mojo::Server::Daemon inherits all attributes from Mojo::Server and implements the following new ones.

acceptors

my $acceptors = $daemon->acceptors;
$daemon       = $daemon->acceptors([]);

Active acceptors.

backlog

my $backlog = $daemon->backlog;
$daemon     = $daemon->backlog(128);

Listen backlog size, defaults to SOMAXCONN.

inactivity_timeout

my $timeout = $daemon->inactivity_timeout;
$daemon     = $daemon->inactivity_timeout(5);

Maximum amount of time in seconds a connection can be inactive before getting closed, defaults to the value of the MOJO_INACTIVITY_TIMEOUT environment variable or 15. Setting the value to 0 will allow connections to be inactive indefinitely.

ioloop

my $loop = $daemon->ioloop;
$daemon  = $daemon->ioloop(Mojo::IOLoop->new);

Event loop object to use for I/O operations, defaults to the global Mojo::IOLoop singleton.

listen

my $listen = $daemon->listen;
$daemon    = $daemon->listen(['https://localhost:3000']);

List of one or more locations to listen on, defaults to the value of the MOJO_LISTEN environment variable or http://*:3000.

# Listen on all IPv4 interfaces
$daemon->listen(['http://*:3000']);

# Listen on all IPv4 and IPv6 interfaces
$daemon->listen(['http://[::]:3000']);

# Listen on IPv6 interface
$daemon->listen(['http://[::1]:4000']);

# Listen on IPv4 and IPv6 interfaces
$daemon->listen(['http://127.0.0.1:3000', 'http://[::1]:3000']);

# Allow multiple servers to use the same port (SO_REUSEPORT)
$daemon->listen(['http://*:8080?reuse=1']);

# Listen on two ports with HTTP and HTTPS at the same time
$daemon->listen([qw(http://*:3000 https://*:4000)]);

# Use a custom certificate and key
$daemon->listen(['https://*:3000?cert=/x/server.crt&key=/y/server.key']);

# Or even a custom certificate authority
$daemon->listen(
  ['https://*:3000?cert=/x/server.crt&key=/y/server.key&ca=/z/ca.crt']);

These parameters are currently available:

ca
ca=/etc/tls/ca.crt

Path to TLS certificate authority file.

cert
cert=/etc/tls/server.crt

Path to the TLS cert file, defaults to a built-in test certificate.

ciphers
ciphers=AES128-GCM-SHA256:RC4:HIGH:!MD5:!aNULL:!EDH

Cipher specification string.

key
key=/etc/tls/server.key

Path to the TLS key file, defaults to a built-in test key.

reuse
reuse=1

Allow multiple servers to use the same port with the SO_REUSEPORT socket option.

verify
verify=0x00

TLS verification mode, defaults to 0x03.

max_clients

my $max = $daemon->max_clients;
$daemon = $daemon->max_clients(1000);

Maximum number of concurrent client connections, passed along to "max_connections" in Mojo::IOLoop.

max_requests

my $max = $daemon->max_requests;
$daemon = $daemon->max_requests(100);

Maximum number of keep-alive requests per connection, defaults to 25.

silent

my $bool = $daemon->silent;
$daemon  = $daemon->silent($bool);

Disable console messages.

METHODS

Mojo::Server::Daemon inherits all methods from Mojo::Server and implements the following new ones.

run

$daemon->run;

Run server.

start

$daemon = $daemon->start;

Start accepting connections.

# Listen on random port
my $id   = $daemon->listen(['http://127.0.0.1'])->start->acceptors->[0];
my $port = $daemon->ioloop->acceptor($id)->handle->sockport;

stop

$daemon = $daemon->stop;

Stop accepting connections.

DEBUGGING

You can set the MOJO_DAEMON_DEBUG environment variable to get some advanced diagnostics information printed to STDERR.

MOJO_DAEMON_DEBUG=1
