Mojolicious versions 7.28 through 9.45 for Perl generate weak HMAC session cookie secrets by default when using the "mojo generate app" tool. This occurs because the tool uses the insecure rand() function to create the secret, which is used for session authentication and integrity. The weakness may allow attackers to brute force session keys. Version 9.46 fixes this by using high-quality randomness. Users must manually replace any previously generated weak secrets to ensure security.
