CVE-2026-15747
CWE-204Published: July 14, 2026· Updated: Jul 15, 2026
Official Description
Mojolicious versions from 4.59 before 9.48 for Perl expose a stable representation of the session CSRF token to a BREACH compression oracle.
_csrf_token generates and caches one token per session and returns the same value on every call, and _csrf_field places that value in a hidden `csrf_token` input. When a response carrying the token also echoes attacker-controlled input and is gzip-compressed, the chosen values and the resulting compressed lengths form a BREACH oracle.
An attacker able to query it can recover the token and pass csrf_protect validation.
Risk Analysis
This critical vulnerability in Mojolicious for Perl exposes a stable session CSRF token to a BREACH compression oracle. With a CVSS score of 9.1, an attacker could recover the token and bypass CSRF protection, leading to unauthorized actions. No user interaction is required for exploitation.
No public exploits are currently known for this vulnerability. The flaw is remotely exploitable with low complexity, making it a significant concern.
Users of Mojolicious should update to version 9.48 or later. Implement strong encryption and ensure proper handling of sensitive tokens to prevent compression oracle attacks.
Technical Analysis
CVE-2026-15747 can be exploited remotely over the network without requiring physical or adjacent access, significantly expanding the attack surface for threat actors.
The vulnerability requires no privileges and no user interaction, making it a prime target for automated exploitation campaigns and worm-like propagation.
A successful exploit results in complete confidentiality breach (data exposure), full integrity compromise (data manipulation), with a CVSS base score of 9.1.
