Hi, The following vulnerability was published for libcatalyst-plugin-session-perl. CVE-2025-40924[0]: | Catalyst::Plugin::Session before version 0.44 for Perl generates | session ids insecurely. The session id is generated from a (usually | SHA-1) hash of a simple counter, the epoch time, the built-in rand | function, the PID and the current Catalyst context. This information | is of low entropy. The PID will come from a small set of numbers, | and the epoch time may be guessed, if it is not leaked from the HTTP | Date header. The built-in rand function is unsuitable for | cryptographic usage. Predicable session ids could allow an attacker | to gain access to systems. If you fix the vulnerability please also make sure to include the CVE (Common Vulnerabilities & Exposures) id in your changelog entry. For further information see: [0] https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/CVE-2025-40924 https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2025-40924 [1] https://github.com/perl-catalyst/Catalyst-Plugin-Session/pull/5 Please adjust the affected versions in the BTS as needed.
