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.
