Fedora 41 : perl-Mojolicious (2025-c38fd06bec)

high Nessus Plugin ID 236992

Synopsis

The remote Fedora host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

The remote Fedora 41 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the FEDORA-2025-c38fd06bec advisory.

 Mojolicious versions from 0.999922 through 9.39 for Perl uses a hard coded string, or the application's class name, as a HMAC session secret by default.

 Mojolicious 9.39 added EXPERIMENTAL support for encrypted session cookies. This feature is much more secure than signed cookies and can be enabled by installing CryptX and setting the encrypted attribute.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Fedora security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Update the affected perl-Mojolicious package.
