Session hijacking via predictable OAuth state
Published Jun 23, 2026 · Updated Jun 23, 2026
Cross-site request forgery in Mojolicious::Plugin::Web::Auth::OAuth2 through 0.17 allows remote attackers to hijack user sessions. The default _state_generator hashes the HTTP Date-derived epoch time and Perl rand output with SHA-1, producing a predictable OAuth state value. The flaw is reachable when an application omits a custom state generator, enabling forged authorization responses to bind an attacker's OAuth identity to a victim's application session.

Exploitability
Present is not the same as exploitable
Compare your product and version with the public record. A matching version still requires validation against your environment.
Is a vulnerable build present?
Compare these published version ranges with your installed build and any vendor patches.
