sticky session is not working on android browser - kubernetes-ingress

I have an ingress alb with session stickiness enabled on target group!
kubernetes.io/ingress.class: alb
alb.ingress.kubernetes.io/scheme: internet-facing
alb.ingress.kubernetes.io/target-type: ip
alb.ingress.kubernetes.io/target-group-attributes: stickiness.enabled=true,stickiness.type=app_cookie,stickiness.app_cookie.cookie_name=SESSION_ID,stickiness.app_cookie.duration_seconds=1200

Stickiness works well in pc web browser but not in mobile app!
Cookies created in pc chrome browser: SESSION_ID is set correctly, AWSALBAPP-0 is set correctly and the other ALB cookies such as AWSALBAPP-1, AWSALBAPP-2, AWSALBAPP-3 are set as _remove_"!
Cookies created in Android device chrome browser: SESSION_ID is set correctly, all ALB cookies such as AWSALBAPP-0, AWSALBAPP-1, AWSALBAPP-2, AWSALBAPP-3 are set as _remove_!
Why all AWSALBAPP cookies are set as _remove_ in mobile browser?
I have checked the cloudfront cache policy and origin policy and I think there is no problem in that.

After debugging I found that it happens randomly!
On first request response I could see that set-cookie header of AWSALBAPP-0 with right value is set correctly. But in the next sub-requests AWSALBAPP-0 is set as _remove_. That I guess it must be due to web-view multiple set-cookie header bug.

Request blocked by CORS policy after update to Edge 98.0.1108.43: Request had no target IP address space, yet the resource is in address space private

This problem also happens in Chrome.
Error in console:
Access to XMLHttpRequest at 'http://192.168.x.xxx:xxxx/' from origin
'http://xx.xxxx.com' has been blocked by CORS policy: Request had no
target IP address space, yet the resource is in address space
private.
My Edge worked fine last month. The problem started to happen after updating Edge.
The flag #block-insecure-private-network-requests is set to disabled.
Does anyone know how to fix this problem without reverting the browser to an old version?
Goto Edge with below URL
edge://flags/#block-insecure-private-network-requests
You can disable or enable from here and relaunch browser.
Similar problem solved
So for edge, just replace the regedit path
"Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Google\Chrome"
to
"Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Edge"
Note that changing this setting will effect all urls.
More secure way is setting another regedit key, which is InsecurePrivateNetworkRequestsAllowedForUrls
Steps:
open regedit
go to the path "Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Edge\InsecurePrivateNetworkRequestsAllowedForUrls" (create if it not exists)
add string(REG_SZ), the key should be integers like "1,2,3,...", and the value for each string is the url you want to pass cors policy
E.g.
SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Edge\InsecurePrivateNetworkRequestsAllowedForUrls\1 = "http://www.example.com:8080"
SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Edge\InsecurePrivateNetworkRequestsAllowedForUrls\2 = "[*.]example.edu"

chrome blocking the cookies even with samesite=None

I have a flask application hosted in heroku embedded as an iframe to one of my website.
Let's say a.com renders this <heroku_url>.com as an iframe.
When user visits a.com, <heroku_url>.com is rendered and session is created.
from flask import session, make_response
#app.route("/")
def index():
session['foo'] = 'bar'
response = make_response("setting cookie")
response.headers.add('Set-Cookie', 'cross-site-cookie=bar; SameSite=None; Secure')
return response
In Chrome dev tools, I see the cookie getting blocked. Works fine in firefox though.
Am I setting the cookie properly?
I understand this is due to chrome80 update, but not sure about the workaround
Setting samesite attribute in the session cookie to None seems to have solved the problem.
Had to update werkzeug (WSGI web application library which is wrapped by flask) and update the session cookie.
i.e
app.config['SESSION_COOKIE_SAMESITE'] = 'None'
app.config['SESSION_COOKIE_SECURE'] = True
However, this also depends on the user's preference in 'chrome://settings/cookies'.
Chrome will block the session cookies even if samesite is set to None if one of the below options is selected
Block third-party cookies
Block all cookies
Block third-party cookies in Incognito (blocks in incognito mode).
You can check your browser is treating the cookies as expected by checking the test site at https://samesite-sandbox.glitch.me/
If all the rows contain green checks (✔️) then there it's likely there is some kind of issue with the cookie and I would suggest checking the Issues tab and Network tab in DevTools to confirm the set-cookie header definitely contains what it should.
If there are any red or orange crosses (✘) on the test site, then something in your browser is affecting cookies. Check that you are not blocking third-party cookies (chrome://settings/cookies) or running an extension that may do something similar.

Set-Cookie not working in chrome

I have one strange issue, one of the site I have developed returns Anti-Forgery cookie while requesting login page. When I check response in chrome network tab it contains header
Set-Cookie: .AspNetCore.Antiforgery.w5W7x28NAIs=xxx; path=/; samesite=strict; httponly
But when I check cookie value in Application tab (Under cookie section), I cant find any cookie set in browser. I have also checked cookies with chrome extensions like EditThisCookie but it is also not displaying there.
Network Tab:
Application Tab:
Am I missing some simple thing, or this is some kind of chrome (Version 66.0.3359.181 (Official Build) (64-bit)) bug?
I've got similar issue, solved it by setting withCredentials = true for every requests.
For angular, this basically means:
this.http.get(url, { withCredentials: true });

Chrome cookies not working after tomcat web server reboot

I noticed recently, that when I reboot my Tomcat web server, that the Chrome browser can no longer store cookies. i.e. tomcat uses cookies for http sessions, and the browser can no longer get its http session, also the cookie we use to store the logged in user fails, and the user does not remain logged in.
This seems to be a new issue with Chrome, perhaps from a recent update, I do not remember seeing it before. If I close the Chrome browser, then reopen it, it is fine again (until the server is rebooted again).
The issue does not happen on Firefox, seems like a bug in Chrome.
Has anyone else noticed this issue, or know of a solution?
I found some posts about Chrome/tomcat cookie issues and the suggestion to set,
sessionCookiePathUsesTrailingSlash=false in the context.xml
but this does not fix the issue.
It seems it might be related to the website supporting both https and http, and switching between the two (although it did occur on a website that did not support https as well...)
Okay, I can now recreate the issue, steps are.
connect to website via https
logout / login
connect to website via http
Tomcat JSESSIONID cookie can no longer be stored (oddly user/password cookies are stored)
This only happens on Chrome, and only since the Chrome update that add the "insecure" flag on login pages that use http
Okay I added this to my web.xml
<session-config>
<cookie-config>
<http-only>true</http-only>
<secure>true</secure>
</cookie-config>
</session-config>
This did not fix the issue, but made the issue always occur through http, i.e. make http no longer able to store the JSESSIONID cookie.
I tried <secure>false</secure> but still get the old issue.
So, it is related to this setting at least. Anyone have any ideas?
Logged bug on Chrome,
https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=698741
I was able to reproduce your problem with Chrome: Just it is needed to create HttpSession from HTTPS zone. Any subsequent HTTP request will not send the session cookie and any attempt to Set-Cookie:JSESSIONID= through HTTP is ignored by chrome.
The problem is localized when the user switch from HTTPS to HTTP. The HTTPS session cookie is maintained even if server is restarted and is working properly. (I tested with Tomcat6, Tomcat 9, and using an apache proxy for SSL)
This is response header sent by Tomcat when session is created from HTTPS
Set-Cookie: JSESSIONID=CD93A1038E89DFD39F420CE0DD460C72;path=/cookietest;Secure;HttpOnly
and this one for HTTP (note Secure is missing)
Set-Cookie:SESSIONID=F909DBEEA37960ECDEA9829D336FD239;path=/cookietest;HttpOnly
Chrome ignores the second set-Cookie. On the other hand Firefox and Edge replace the Secure cookie with the not-secured. To determine what the correct behaviour should be I have reviewed RFC2109
4.3.3 Cookie Management
If a user agent receives a Set-Cookie response header whose NAME is
the same as a pre-existing cookie, and whose Domain and Path
attribute values exactly (string) match those of a pre-existing
cookie, the new cookie supersedes the old.
So, It is clear is a chrome bug, as you supposed in the question: The HTTP cookie should replace the one setted by HTTPS
Removing cookie manually from Chrome or invalidating the session at server side makes it work again (if after these actions the session is created using HTTP)
By default the JSESSIONID cookie is created with Secure when is requested from HTTPS. I guess this is the reason that Chrome do not allow to overwrite the cookie. But if you try to set <secure>false</secure> in web.xml Tomcat ignores it and the Set-Cookie header is sent with Secure
<session-config>
<cookie-config>
<http-only>true</http-only>
<secure>true</secure>
</cookie-config>
</session-config>
Changing cookie name, setting sessionCookiePathUsesTrailingSlash or removing HttpOnly has had no effect
I could not find a workaround for this issue except invalidating server session when logged user switch from HTTPS to HTTP.
Finally I opened a bug in chromium: https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=698839
UPDATED
The issue is finally marked as Won't Fix because it is an intentional change. See https://www.chromestatus.com/feature/4506322921848832
Strict Secure Cookies
This adds restrictions on cookies marked with the 'Secure' attribute. Currently, Secure cookies cannot be accessed by insecure (e.g. HTTP) origins. However, insecure origins can still add Secure cookies, delete them, or indirectly evict them. This feature modifies the cookie jar so that insecure origins cannot in any way touch Secure cookies. This does leave a carve out for cookie eviction, which still may cause the deletion of Secure cookies, but only after all non-Secure cookies are evicted.
I remember seeing this a couple of times and as far as I can remember this was the only recommendation on the matter, as you mentioned:
A possible solution to this might be adding sessionCookiePathUsesTrailingSlash=false in the context.xml and see how that goes.
Some info on the matter from here
A discussion here (same solution)
Hope I didn't confuse the issues and this helps you, let me know with a comment if I need to edit/if worked/if I should delete, thanks!
There is a draft document to deprecate the modification of 'secure' cookies from non-secure origins (submitted by Google). It specifies the recommendations to amend the HTTP State Management Mechanism document.
Abstract of the document:
This document updates RFC6265 by removing the ability for a non-
secure origin to set cookies with a 'secure' flag, and to overwrite
cookies whose 'secure' flag is set. This deprecation improves the
isolation between HTTP and HTTPS origins, and reduces the risk of
malicious interference.
Chrome already implemented this feature in v 52 and same feature is also implemented in Mozilla few days back.
To solve this issue, I think you should connect to website via https only.
The bad way I think is to set sessionCookieName = "JSESSIONIDForHttp" in context.xml
Let Browser's cookie know:
If secure https condition use default "JSESSIONID".
If not secure http condition use "JSESSIONIDForHttp".

Chrome sent duplicate cookie

I am working on a spring MVC app and found a strange issue that only happen on chrome. The logic is:
user request a list of items
user click on add new button and a bootstrap dialog popup allow user type in the name
on submit, a post request sent to the server
server create an new item and save it to db
server store the new item id to cookie and send a redirect response to browser
browser request item view page
server pick up the item id from cookie and render the page
The above logic runs good on nearly all browsers (I didn't test on IE) except chrome. I found the root cause is chrome will store previous cookie with a different item id and at step 6 chrome send duplicate item id cookies to the server.
Any idea how to resolve this issue?
Chrome[Version 32.0.1700.41 m Aura]
Opera[Version 20.0.1353.0]
Firefox[Version 29.0a1 (2013-12-10)]
Safari[Version 5.1.7 (7534.57.2)]
No screen capture. But it works
Restart Chrome!
At some point (even today this happened to me) Chrome is getting confused on what cookies a domain has in its memory vs cached on disk. This confusion leads to cookies being added but not removed from what I can tell. In my case, I'm Suspecting McAfee locking files for scanning. Restarting Chrome rebuilds the cache and then works.

I had something along this stored in my Chrome cookies :
1st cookie : (it was set to expire)
Site : dashboard.app.localhost
Value : access-token=123456; Domain=.app.localhost; Path=/; HttpOnly; SameSite=Strict
2nd cookie : (session cookie that shouldn't be there, I had to dig in the Chrome settings to find it)
Site : dashboard.app.localhost
Value : access-token=invalid; Domain=api.app.localhost; Path=/
Apparently the second cookie appeared due to an error on my side. However, Chrome sent it alongside the first one, creating this header :
Cookie: access-token=invalid; access-token=123456
The solution I found :
Manually delete the second cookie in the Chrome settings.
