Dancer3 improvements bolster security, focusing on token authentication and mitigating XSS vulnerabilities.
Dancer2 0.206000 addresses several potential security issues

Summary

Dancer2 is the new generation of Dancer, the lightweight web-framework for

Perl. It is a complete rewrite based on Moo and is meant to be easy and fun.

Dancer2 0.206000 addresses several potential security issues. There is a

potential RCE with regards to Storable. Dancer2 adds session ID validation to

the session engine so that session backends based on Storable can reject

malformed session IDs that may lead to exploitation of the RCE. Parsing

requests now uses HTTP::Entity::Parser which reduces the amount of code needed

and does not require re-parsing the request body.
