Problem
By default, we set the
Domain
attribute in the session cookie to the request's host value. This causes the cookie to be valid for the provided domain, and all subdomains. I don't believe this is expected behaviour, and shouldn't be the default.For reference: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc6265#section-4.1.2.3
A leading
.
no longer has any impact on where the cookie is shared.More references: mozilla domain attribute, mozilla set-cookie
Solution
Unless a domain is explicitly specified in the configuration, set the domain value to
""
so that the cookie isn't shared with subdomains. Instead, it automatically defaults to only the request's domain
