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-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

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::Reactor::EV - Low-level event reactor with libev support

SYNOPSIS

use Mojo::Reactor::EV;

# Watch if handle becomes readable or writable
my $reactor = Mojo::Reactor::EV->new;
$reactor->io($first => sub {
  my ($reactor, $writable) = @_;
  say $writable ? 'First handle is writable' : 'First handle is readable';
});

# Change to watching only if handle becomes writable
$reactor->watch($first, 0, 1);

# Turn file descriptor into handle and watch if it becomes readable
my $second = IO::Handle->new_from_fd($fd, 'r');
$reactor->io($second => sub {
  my ($reactor, $writable) = @_;
  say $writable ? 'Second handle is writable' : 'Second handle is readable';
})->watch($second, 1, 0);

# Add a timer
$reactor->timer(15 => sub {
  my $reactor = shift;
  $reactor->remove($first);
  $reactor->remove($second);
  say 'Timeout!';
});

# Start reactor if necessary
$reactor->start unless $reactor->is_running;

DESCRIPTION

Mojo::Reactor::EV is a low-level event reactor based on EV (4.0+).

EVENTS

Mojo::Reactor::EV inherits all events from Mojo::Reactor::Poll.

METHODS

Mojo::Reactor::EV inherits all methods from Mojo::Reactor::Poll and implements the following new ones.

again

$reactor->again($id);

Restart timer. Note that this method requires an active timer.

is_running

my $bool = $reactor->is_running;

Check if reactor is running.

new

my $reactor = Mojo::Reactor::EV->new;

Construct a new Mojo::Reactor::EV object.

one_tick

$reactor->one_tick;

Run reactor until an event occurs or no events are being watched anymore.

# Don't block longer than 0.5 seconds
my $id = $reactor->timer(0.5 => sub {});
$reactor->one_tick;
$reactor->remove($id);

recurring

my $id = $reactor->recurring(0.25 => sub {...});

Create a new recurring timer, invoking the callback repeatedly after a given amount of time in seconds.

start

$reactor->start;

Start watching for I/O and timer events, this will block until "stop" is called or no events are being watched anymore.

# Start reactor only if it is not running already
$reactor->start unless $reactor->is_running;

stop

$reactor->stop;

Stop watching for I/O and timer events.

timer

my $id = $reactor->timer(0.5 => sub {...});

Create a new timer, invoking the callback after a given amount of time in seconds.

watch

$reactor = $reactor->watch($handle, $readable, $writable);

Change I/O events to watch handle for with true and false values. Note that this method requires an active I/O watcher.

# Watch only for readable events
$reactor->watch($handle, 1, 0);

# Watch only for writable events
$reactor->watch($handle, 0, 1);

# Watch for readable and writable events
$reactor->watch($handle, 1, 1);

# Pause watching for events
$reactor->watch($handle, 0, 0);
