Plack::Middleware::XSendfile versions through 1.0053 for Perl can allow client-controlled path rewriting. Plack::Middleware::XSendfile allows the variation setting (sendfile type) to be set by the client via the X-Sendfile-Type header, if it is not considered in the middleware constructor or the Plack environment. A malicious client can set the X-Sendfile-Type header to "X-Accel-Redirect" to services running behind nginx reverse proxies, and then set the X-Accel-Mapping to map the path to an arbitrary file on the server. Since 1.0053, Plack::Middleware::XSendfile is deprecated and will be removed from future releases of Plack. This is similar to CVE-2025-61780 for Rack::Sendfile, although Plack::Middleware::XSendfile has some mitigations that disallow regular expressions to be used in the mapping, and only apply the mapping for the "X-Accel-Redirect" type.

Plack::Middleware::Session::Cookie versions through 0.21 for Perl allows remote code execution. Plack::Middleware::Session::Cookie versions through 0.21 has a security vulnerability where it allows an attacker to execute arbitrary code on the server during deserialization of the cookie data, when there is no secret used to sign the cookie.

Plack::Middleware::Session::Simple versions before 0.05 for Perl generates session ids insecurely. The default session id generator returns a SHA-1 hash seeded with the built-in rand function, the epoch time, and the PID. 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. Predictable session ids could allow an attacker to gain access to systems. Plack::Middleware::Session::Simple is intended to be compatible with Plack::Middleware::Session, which had a similar security issue CVE-2025-40923.

Plack-Middleware-Session before version 0.35 for Perl generates session ids insecurely. The default session id generator returns a SHA-1 hash seeded with the built-in rand function, the epoch time, and the PID. 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.

The Plack::Middleware::XSRFBlock package before 0.0.19 for Perl allows attackers to bypass a CSRF protection mechanism via an empty form value and an empty cookie (if signed cookies are disabled).

Plack::App::File in Plack before 1.0031 removes trailing slash characters from paths, which allows remote attackers to bypass the whitelist of generated files and obtain sensitive information via a crafted path, related to Plack::Middleware::Static.
