16 high-severity fixes in this history; regressions here are high-impact.
Recurring patterns
The bug types that recur here, drawn from past fixes, not open vulnerabilities.
Deserialization of Untrusted Data: Mojolicious previously serialized session data using Perl's Storable module, which is highly vulnerable to arbitrary object injection and arbitrary code execution. The fix migrated the serializer to JSON.
Path Traversal: Path parsing and canonicalization allowed directory traversal bypasses (especially on Windows) due to insufficient canonicalization of dot segments and handling of URL-encoded characters.
Cryptographic Weakness: The application scaffold generator historically hardcoded a static, weak default application secret ('s3cret') or relied on weak rand() entropy, exposing sessions to brute-force forgery attacks.
