auth/setup 403s on stale session cookie from a previous install (community: taOS#2) - #2933
auth/setup 403s on stale session cookie from a previous install (community: taOS#2)#2933jaylfc wants to merge 1 commit into
Conversation
A bogus taos_session cookie from a previous install (or an expired session)
must not force the CSRF double-submit check. verify_csrf now checks whether
the cookie resolves to a live session via auth_mgr.validate_session and
returns without enforcing when it does not. CSRFMiddleware clears the stale
cookie in the same response so the browser stops sending it.
CSRF failures now return {"error": ...} via a CsrfException handler instead
of FastAPI's default {"detail": ...} so the SPA can render a friendly
recoverable message.

Starlette 1.3.1 Response set_cookie delete_cookie raw_headers source
💡 Result:
In Starlette 1.3.1, the Response object provides methods to manage cookies and access raw headers [1][2]. Response.set_cookie The set_cookie method adds a Set-Cookie header to the response [2]. Its signature is: set_cookie(key, value="", max_age=None, expires=None, path="/", domain=None, secure=False, httponly=False, samesite="lax", partitioned=False) [1][3] Key parameters include: - max_age: Lifetime in seconds; 0 or negative values discard the cookie [1][3]. - expires: Supports integer (seconds) or datetime objects [1][3]. - partitioned: A boolean for partitioned cookies (requires Python 3.14+) [1][3][4]. Response.delete_cookie The delete_cookie method expires a cookie by setting its max_age and expires to 0 [2][4]. Its signature is: delete_cookie(key, path='/', domain=None, secure=False, httponly=False, samesite="lax") [2][4] raw_headers The raw_headers attribute is a list of tuples containing the response headers as byte strings (e.g., (b"header-name", b"header-value")) [2]. When you call set_cookie or delete_cookie, the resulting Set-Cookie header is appended to this list [2]. The headers are sent to the client when the response is called (awaited) [2]. Source Code The implementation of these methods can be found in starlette/responses.py [2]. The set_cookie method utilizes http.cookies.SimpleCookie to format the cookie string before appending it to self.raw_headers as an encoded latin-1 byte string [2].

Preserve a replacement session cookie.
CSRFMiddleware.dispatch appends delete_cookie("taos_session") after call_next(request). Login and setup handlers can append a valid replacement cookie before this call returns. The later deletion can discard the replacement cookie. Delete the stale cookie only when the response does not already set taos_session. Add regression assertions for login and setup.

CRITICAL: response.delete_cookie("taos_session") runs after call_next(request), so it executes after the route handler. If the handler sets a new taos_session cookie (e.g., /auth/setup, /auth/login, /setup/complete), this call overwrites it with a deletion cookie. After a successful setup or login with a stale cookie, the newly-created session cookie would be immediately discarded.

WARNING: assert "taos_session" not in set_cookie or stale not in set_cookie is too weak to catch the middleware bug. It passes if the stale value is absent, but also passes if a new taos_session cookie was set by the route and then incorrectly deleted by the middleware. Add a check that the response preserves a valid session cookie after setup.

SUGGESTION: exempt_routes omits /auth/pin-login and /auth/complete, which were in the old _CREDENTIAL_PATHS. /auth/complete has no stale-cookie test coverage anywhere in this file. Add it to restore full parity with the previous containment assertion.

CARD TITLE (intent, not commit subject): auth/setup 403s on stale session cookie from a previous install (community: taOS#2)
Autonomous build of board card tsk-ueud3y.
A bogus taos_session cookie from a previous install (or an expired session)
must not force the CSRF double-submit check. verify_csrf now checks whether
the cookie resolves to a live session via auth_mgr.validate_session and
returns without enforcing when it does not. CSRFMiddleware clears the stale
cookie in the same response so the browser stops sending it.
CSRF failures now return {"error": ...} via a CsrfException handler instead
of FastAPI's default {"detail": ...} so the SPA can render a friendly
recoverable message.
