Summary

Adds anonymous sessions to the Next.js SDK (Early Access). An app can mint a server-side anonymous session before login, attach set-once metadata (e.g. a cart id), read it from Server Components, Route Handlers, and a client hook, and have it linked to the real user at callback.

// server
const anon = await auth0.createAnonymousSession(req, res, {
  metadata: { cart_id: "abc123" }
});

// client
const { anonymous, isLoading, error, invalidate } = useAnonymousSession();

Stacked PR (1/2): SDK implementation. The runnable example and its tiered test suite are in a follow-up PR stacked on top of this one.

Additive and off by default: it activates only when anonymousSession.enabled is set on the Auth0Client, so existing apps are unaffected.

Why

Flows like e-commerce need durable pre-login state (carts, preferences) that survives the transition to an authenticated session, without a fixation window where an attacker can graft their own pre-auth token onto a victim's login. This adds a tenant-backed anonymous session that the SDK issues, persists in an encrypted cookie, renews on demand, and links at callback under a fixation-safe binding.

What changed

  • Public API: createAnonymousSession(), getAnonymousSession(), the useAnonymousSession() client hook, and Auth0Provider props (anonymousSession for SSR seeding, anonymousSessionRoute).
  • Config anonymousSession: { enabled, audience, scope, cookie } and two routes (/auth/anonymous-session, /auth/anonymous-session/logout), both configurable via NEXT_PUBLIC_* env vars.
  • Encrypted auth0_anon cookie (chunked when large), error-driven silent renewal, set-once metadata with a 1KB cap.
  • AnonymousSessionError plus getStatusForAnonymousError for mapping authorization-server error codes to HTTP status.
  • A user-facing guide (docs/anonymous-sessions.md).

Design decisions

  • Session-fixation mitigation, three layers. A caller-supplied session_token on /auth/login is stripped before the authorize request; the token is injected only from the SDK's own encrypted cookie; a digest of it is bound to the login transaction and re-verified at callback (anonymousSessionLinked). A swapped or forged cookie fails the digest check and does not link.
  • Metadata is set-once. Fixed at creation, never mutated, so there is no update route. Oversized (>1KB) or non-object metadata is rejected before any network call.
  • Renewal is error-driven. An expired access token is renewed lazily on the next read that can write cookies; the Server Component read path returns the current session and defers renewal.
  • The read path never throws. getAnonymousSession() returns null for a missing, malformed, or expired cookie. createAnonymousSession() does throw, so callers can surface creation failures.
  • Off by default. When disabled, the routes return 404 and getAnonymousSession() returns null. The callback adds only an anonymousSessionLinked boolean; no existing field changes shape.

Testing

  • 122 dedicated anonymous-session unit and integration tests (server flow, route handlers, create factory, client hook, provider, types). Full repo suite green; tsc and eslint clean.

Review findings addressed

  • Never-throws contract: the silent-renewal branch could throw out of a read (a renewed access token with a non-anon@ subject). It now returns null, matching the read contract. Regression test added.
  • Metadata type validation: creation checked only size, so a non-object value passed. A plain-object guard now rejects non-objects with invalid_request (HTTP 400) before any network call. Regression tests added.
  • Test hardening: assert the link flag directly rather than only the authorize redirect; fix three login calls that passed the request in the wrong argument position (making them vacuous); verify the original session token is retained across renewal; null-guard request-body reads; make the client hook and provider tests race-free and cache-isolated.

Mergeability Score: 🟡 Moderate · up to 08ad5

This PR adds anonymous-session routes and client APIs, but the current head still has a lint-blocking type error and nondeterministic client tests caused by cache, revalidation, and async assertions; a documented request example can also throw for a null body. Merge should wait for these bounded correctness and readiness issues to be fixed.

165-167: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Both env-var tests restore process.env incorrectly. Each finally block assigns the saved value back to process.env. If the variable was unset before the test, the saved value is undefined and Node coerces the assignment to the string "undefined". The variable then stays truthy for every later test in the same worker, and the provider resolves the affected route key to "undefined". Delete the key when the saved value is undefined.

Alternatively, use vi.stubEnv with vi.unstubAllEnvs() in an afterEach, which handles the unset case correctly.

These tests assert on local literals, not on SDK behavior, but their names claim otherwise.

Test T1.1 at lines 164-180 is named "AnonymousSession.id must be extracted from JWT sub claim (not assigned)". It builds a plain object, copies mockJWT.sub into extractedId, and asserts that extractedId equals the literal it was just assigned. No SDK function runs. Test T2.1 at lines 220-243 decodes a hardcoded token inline and asserts the sub. It also never calls toPublicSession.

The tests at lines 182-202 assign a field to an AnonymousSession literal and then assert that the field holds the assigned value. These are compile-time type checks written as runtime assertions.

The real coverage of the id-from-sub contract already exists at src/server/auth-client.anonymous-routes.test.ts lines 818-843, where createAnonymousSession runs and session.id is compared to the decoded sub. Remove the tautological tests, or rename them so they do not imply that this file verifies the extraction logic. The current names create false confidence in the coverage of a security-relevant contract.

Note also the empty catch at lines 236-238. It discards the binding e and can hide a decode failure.

The assertion cannot demonstrate the behavior in the test name.

The test is named "Unmentioned keys preserved". The cookie payload carries { a: 1, b: 2, c: 3 } and the update sends { a: 99 }. The default MSW handler at lines 46-60 returns metadata: body.metadata || {}, so the mocked response contains only { a: 99 }. Keys b and c are never returned. The single assertion expect(body.metadata).toHaveProperty("a") passes without proving preservation.

Either override the handler to simulate the merge, as test T3.3 does at lines 270-304, and then assert b and c, or rename the test to describe what it verifies.

The anonymousSession option doc is wrong about disabled behavior in both declarations. The same sentence, "when disabled, routes are not mounted and methods return null", is duplicated on both option interfaces. getAnonymousSession returns null when disabled, but createAnonymousSession throws AnonymousSessionError("unauthorized_client") (src/server/auth-client.ts lines 2762-2767) because its return type is non-nullable. A consumer who follows this doc writes a null check and receives an unhandled throw.

  • src/server/client.ts#L511-L516: replace the "methods return null" sentence with the split behavior — getAnonymousSession returns null, createAnonymousSession throws AnonymousSessionError with code unauthorized_client.

The catch path diverges from the success path in three ways.

Compare lines 3267-3283 with the success path at lines 3244-3264:

  • The response omits headers: { "content-type": "application/json" }. Next.js then serves the JSON string as text/plain;charset=UTF-8. A client that checks the content type before parsing fails.
  • The response omits addCacheControlHeadersForSession(res). The success path marks the logout response no-store; this path leaves it cacheable.
  • The caught error is discarded without a log. The success path logs the Auth0 call failure at line 3238. Here an unexpected failure in cookie decryption or cookie deletion is completely silent, which makes the path undiagnosable in production.

Guard the (undefined, res) argument combination.

The implementation validates only one direction. If a caller passes req without res, it throws a clear TypeError. If a caller passes res without req, normalizedReq is undefined, control falls into the App Router branch, and res is silently ignored. The cookie is then written to the next/headers store instead of the caller's response, or cookies() throws an opaque error outside request scope.

getAccessToken guards the mirror case at lines 1083-1087. Apply the same guard here.

path ignores NEXT_PUBLIC_BASE_PATH.

anonymousCookieOptions.path is hard-coded to "/". Every other cookie in the SDK honors the base path. src/server/client.ts line 605-609 resolves the session cookie path as options.session?.cookie?.path ?? process.env.AUTH0_COOKIE_PATH ?? basePath ?? "/", and the transaction cookie does the same at line 622.

Under a Next.js basePath deployment the session cookie is scoped to /app while the anonymous cookie is scoped to /. The anonymous cookie is then sent on requests to sibling applications on the same host.

Resolve the path the same way the other cookies do.

These tests cannot fail; assert the seeded SWR value.

expect(container).toBeTruthy() is true for any rendered container. The "seeds SWR cache" test and all four "Route resolution" tests pass even if you delete the fallback construction in auth0-provider.tsx entirely. The suite therefore does not verify FR-8.

Render a consumer that reads the key and assert the seeded value appears without a fetch.

💚 Example of a failing-capable assertion
import useSWR from "swr";

function AnonProbe() {
  const { data } = useSWR<AnonymousSession | null>("/auth/anonymous-session");
  return <span data-testid="anon-id">{data?.id ?? "none"}</span>;
}

  const { getByTestId } = render(
    <Auth0Provider anonymousSession={mockAnonymousSession}>
      <AnonProbe />
    </Auth0Provider>
  );
  expect(getByTestId("anon-id").textContent).toBe(mockAnonymousSession.id);
});

Apply the same pattern with a custom anonymousSessionRoute to prove the key resolution.

Extract the anonymous-session route resolution into a shared helper.

Lines 58-62 duplicate the exact resolution order used in src/client/hooks/use-anonymous-session.ts Lines 33-37. The SWR cache key must match between the two, or the seeded fallback is never read and the loading flash returns with no error. Two independent copies of the same precedence chain can drift.

Also note the coupling this creates for consumers: if an application passes anonymousSessionRoute to Auth0Provider but omits route in useAnonymousSession (or the reverse), the keys differ and seeding silently fails. Document this or derive both from one source.

Assert anonymousSessionLinked in the transaction state, not the location header.

Test T6.1 is named "Transaction state binding records anonymousSessionLinked flag", and T6.2 is named "No session at login → anonymousSessionLinked flag false". Neither test reads the transaction state. T6.1 asserts only that the location header contains session_token=session-bound, which duplicates the assertions in the tests at lines 536-558 and 597-624. The Layer 3 defense therefore has no coverage.

Decrypt the transaction cookie from the response and assert the flag. The tests in this file already decrypt cookies with decrypt from ./cookies.js, so the helper is available.

💚 Proposed assertion for T6.1
-      // After startInteractiveLogin, the transaction state should have anonymousSessionLinked=true
-      // This is verified at callback time to prevent cookie-swap attacks
-      const location = result.headers.get("location");
-      expect(location).toContain("session_token=session-bound");
+      // The transaction state must record the binding flag; this is checked at
+      // callback time to prevent cookie-swap attacks.
+      const txnCookie = result.cookies
+        .getAll()
+        .find((c: any) => c.name.startsWith("__txn_"));
+      expect(txnCookie).toBeDefined();
+      const txn = await decrypt<TransactionState>(txnCookie!.value, secret);
+      expect(txn?.payload.anonymousSessionLinked).toBe(true);

Import the extra symbols at the top of the file:

-import { encrypt } from "./cookies.js";
+import { decrypt, encrypt } from "./cookies.js";
+import type { TransactionState } from "./transaction-store.js";

Apply the mirrored assertion in T6.2, expecting the flag to be absent or false.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Three startInteractiveLogin calls pass req inside the options object instead of as the second argument. The signature is startInteractiveLogin(options, req?). When req is placed in the options object, the second parameter is undefined, the guard this.anonymousSessionEnabled && req is false, and the anonymous-cookie injection never runs. All three tests then pass without exercising the behavior their names describe. The calls at lines 550-553, 581-587, 616-619, and 644-647 use the correct positional form.

  • src/server/anonymous-session.flow.test.ts#L1109-L1112: move req to the second argument, then assert that the location header does not contain should-not-inject, so the test proves the disabled feature suppresses injection.
  • src/server/anonymous-session.flow.test.ts#L1127-L1133: move req to the second argument, then assert that the location header does not contain attacker-injected, so the test proves Layer 1 stripping.
  • src/server/anonymous-session.flow.test.ts#L1184-L1187: move req to the second argument, so the no-cookie path runs through the same guard the other tests use.

🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

One throwing call breaks the documented never-throws read contract. toPublicSession throws AnonymousSessionError("invalid_session_token") when the access token inside a successfully decrypted cookie cannot be decoded or its sub lacks the anon@ prefix. resolveAnonymousSession calls it on both read-path branches, so the throw propagates all the way to the public reader, which documents that it never throws for a malformed cookie and is intended for Server Components.

  • src/server/auth-client.ts#L2643-L2663: wrap the two toPublicSession(state) calls on the read path so an undecodable payload returns null, matching how decrypt already handles a malformed cookie. Leave the writable paths throwing.
  • src/server/client.ts#L880-L919: no code change is needed once the root cause is fixed; re-verify that the doc claim at lines 882-883 then holds.

Validate that metadata is a plain object.

The handler checks only the serialized byte size. A client can POST {"metadata": "text"}, {"metadata": [1,2]}, or {"metadata": 42}. Each passes the 1KB check and is forwarded to Auth0 unchanged.

The value then flows through toCookiePayload into AnonymousCookiePayload.metadata and out through toPublicSession into AnonymousSession.metadata. Both are declared Record<string, unknown>. A string, array, or number breaks that contract for every consumer, including the client hook, with no type error to catch it.

Reject non-object values before the size check.

Move the SDK integration tests out of the types test file and share the client setup.

Lines 169-299 build a full AuthClient with a session store, a transaction store, and encrypted cookies. That is server integration coverage inside src/types, and the comment at Line 177 states the equivalent path is already covered by src/server/auth-client.anonymous-routes.test.ts T2.5. The client literal is also repeated verbatim in both tests.

Keep type-shape and error-mapping assertions here. Move the two SDK-path tests next to the other server suites, and extract one buildClient() helper for the shared configuration.

Route the create path through toCookiePayload as well.

renewAccessToken now delegates the response-to-payload conversion to toCookiePayload (Line 2736), which prefers res.metadata (the value the authorization server stored) over the locally supplied metadata. This inline payload keeps options.metadata instead. If the server normalizes or rewrites metadata at creation, the cookie holds the submitted value and the renewed cookie holds the stored value, so AnonymousSession.metadata changes on first renewal without any developer action.

res.session_token is already validated as present on Line 2809, so passing it as the prior token is safe.

Validate anonymousSession.cookie.maxAge before use.

this.anonymousCookieMaxAge is used for two purposes: the JWE expiration in persistAnonymousCookie (Line 2887) and the cookie maxAge (Line 2896). A non-finite or negative value produces an expiration in the past. The cookie is then written and immediately unusable, and resolveAnonymousSession reports no session with no error. Auth0Client already rejects an invalid tokenRefreshBuffer with a TypeError, so a matching guard keeps configuration errors visible.

The literal 2592000 also duplicates a default that belongs with the other anonymous-session constants.

♻️ Proposed validation and named default

Add the default to src/utils/anonymous-session-constants.ts:

/** Default anonymous session cookie lifetime: 30 days (CASCADE §C). */
export const DEFAULT_ANONYMOUS_COOKIE_MAX_AGE_SECONDS = 2592000;

Discriminate the overload with a positive request test.

Line 958 decides the overload by the absence of a top-level url property. This makes the options branch the default for any object shape the check does not recognize. getAccessToken in this same class (Line 1090) uses the opposite approach: it tests positively for a request with arg1 instanceof Request || typeof (arg1 as any).headers === "object". Aligning with that pattern removes the dependency on url being present on every PagesRouterRequest, and it lets you drop the as any on Line 968.

Guard null request bodies before reading metadata.

At Line [209], a JSON body of null passes through unchanged. Line [211] then dereferences body.metadata and throws. The Pages Router example has the same issue because typeof null === "object" at Line [267].

Normalize null to an empty object before accessing metadata.

Proposed fix
-    const body = await req.json().catch(() => ({}));
+    const body = (await req.json().catch(() => ({}))) ?? {};
...
-    const body = typeof req.body === "object" ? req.body : {};

Apply the configured base path to the logout request.

This example sends the logout request as a root-relative path. The client hook applies NEXT_PUBLIC_BASE_PATH when resolving its route, but this example does not. With a Next.js base path and the documented default environment value, the request can miss the logout route and leave the cookie active.

Use the same base-path resolution as the hook, or state that NEXT_PUBLIC_ANONYMOUS_SESSION_LOGOUT_ROUTE must already include the base path.

Logout here is a user-triggered fetch to a route the developer configures via `NEXT_PUBLIC_ANONYMOUS_SESSION_LOGOUT_ROUTE`, not a call routed through the client hook. Applying a basePath is the developer's responsibility via that env var (standard Next.js). Not a bug; left as documented.

@tusharpandey13, the logout route is independent from the hook. However, the documented default still does not include NEXT_PUBLIC_BASE_PATH.

With a configured base path and no logout-route override, fetch("/auth/anonymous-session/logout") targets the root path. It does not target the configured base path. The hook handles this case by normalizing its default route.

Please either apply NEXT_PUBLIC_BASE_PATH in this example or explicitly require NEXT_PUBLIC_ANONYMOUS_SESSION_LOGOUT_ROUTE to include the base path, including when developers replace the default route.

- **Cookie attributes.** The anonymous session cookie is `HttpOnly` and `Path=/`. `SameSite` defaults to `lax` and `Secure` defaults to `true`; both are configurable. Setting `secure: false` sends the cookie over plain HTTP and is only appropriate for local development.
- **The session token is not an API credential.** Send `accessToken` to your APIs. The session token is a renewal and metadata handle, is not accepted as a bearer token, and never leaves the server except in the authorization request described above.
- **Large sessions are split across cookies.** Metadata that pushes the encrypted payload past the single-cookie size limit is chunked across `auth0_anon__0`, `auth0_anon__1`, and so on, using the same mechanism as the authenticated session cookie. Logout clears the chunks along with the base cookie.

Assert the rendered id inside waitFor to remove a race.

waitFor at Line 146 only waits for callCount. The fetch counter increments before React commits the revalidated data. The assertion at Line 151 can therefore run against the previous render and fail intermittently.

Wait on the rendered value instead. Also wrap invalidate() in act() so the state update is flushed deterministically.

SWR 2.x source fallback cache precedence global SWRConfig fallback existing cache revalidateOnMount

💡 Result:

In SWR 2.x, the precedence and interaction between cache, fallback data, and revalidation logic during component mount are determined by a specific hierarchy [1]. Precedence and Cache Behavior When a useSWR hook mounts, it determines whether to initiate a request based on a specific decision-making order [2][3]: 1. revalidateOnMount: If explicitly set (true/false), this takes the highest precedence and dictates whether to trigger an immediate fetch, bypassing other conditions [2][3]. 2. Fallback and Existing Cache: SWR treats both fallback data (provided via SWRConfig 'fallback' or individual hook 'fallbackData') and existing cache entries as "available data" [1][4]. 3. revalidateIfStale: If revalidateOnMount is undefined, SWR checks if the data is considered "stale" [3]. If revalidateIfStale is true (the default), SWR will trigger a revalidation if there is existing cache data [5][3]. Important nuance: Fallback data (both via SWRConfig and hook-level fallbackData) acts as an initial value when no data exists in the cache, but it is not automatically written into the permanent cache upon mount [4][6]. If you set revalidateIfStale to false, SWR will treat the fallback/cache as sufficient and will not trigger a background fetch, even if the data might be technically out of date [3][4]. Hierarchical Merging - Nested SWRConfig: SWR uses a hierarchical configuration system [7][8]. When SWRConfig providers are nested, child configurations merge with parent configurations [7]. For the 'fallback' object, properties are merged, meaning you can define global fallbacks in a parent SWRConfig and override or extend them in a child SWRConfig [7]. - Cache Provider: If a custom 'provider' is defined in SWRConfig, it overrides the default global cache for all descendant hooks [9]. If no provider is defined, SWR defaults to a shared empty Map [9]. Summary of Revalidation Logic on Mount The decision to fetch is effectively: - If revalidateOnMount is true -> Fetch [2][3]. - If revalidateOnMount is false -> Do not fetch [2][3]. - If revalidateOnMount is undefined (default): - If no cache/fallback exists -> Fetch [5][3]. - If cache/fallback exists and revalidateIfStale is true -> Fetch [5][3]. - If cache/fallback exists and revalidateIfStale is false -> Do not fetch [3][4].

site:github.com/vercel/swr/blob/v2.2.5/src/index/use-swr.ts fallback revalidateIfStale shouldDoInitialRevalidation

💡 Result:

In SWR v2.2.5, shouldDoInitialRevalidation effectively works like this:

const shouldDoInitialRevalidation = (() => {
  if (hasRevalidator && !isUndefined(error)) return false
  if (isInitialMount && !isUndefined(revalidateOnMount)) {
    return revalidateOnMount
  }
  if (getConfig().isPaused()) return false

  if (suspense) {
    return isUndefined(data) ? false : revalidateIfStale
  }

  return isUndefined(data) || revalidateIfStale
})()

Key point: fallbackData supplies initial data, but does not disable revalidation. Since revalidateIfStale defaults to true, SWR displays the fallback immediately and still fetches on mount.

To prevent that initial fetch, use:

useSWR(key, fetcher, {
  fallbackData,
  revalidateIfStale: false
})

Or explicitly:

{ revalidateOnMount: false }

This behavior is also discussed in SWR issue #2179. [1] (github.com)

SWR v2.2.5 use-swr.ts raw shouldDoInitialRevalidation fallbackData cache get fallback global configuration

💡 Result:

In SWR, shouldDoInitialRevalidation is an internal computed boolean within the useSWRHandler function used to determine whether the hook should trigger a revalidation request upon mounting [1]. Technical details regarding this logic include: 1. Core Logic: The value is derived based on the presence of a key and fetcher, the hook's configuration (such as revalidateIfStale), and the existence of cached data [1]. Specifically, it typically returns true if there is no data in the cache or if revalidateIfStale is enabled, provided the component is not paused and doesn't have an active error state [1]. 2. FallbackData and Cache: When fallbackData is provided, SWR uses it as initial data if no other data exists in the cache for that key [2][3][4]. The cache management itself is handled via SWRGlobalState, which retrieves cache-specific state handlers based on the cache provider currently in use [2][3][5]. 3. Global Configuration: SWR hooks consume configurations merged from the SWRConfig provider [6]. The useSWRHandler function merges these global settings with any local props provided to the hook [2][3]. If no global SWRConfig provider is present, the hook defaults to standard configurations and an empty Map as the default cache provider [6][7]. In version 2.2.5 and related releases, this logic ensures that SWR correctly distinguishes between the initial mount (where revalidateOnMount might apply) and subsequent updates, balancing performance by delaying revalidations if valid cache data is available to prevent blocking the render [1][8].

Isolate the SWR cache and mount revalidation between tests. SWR uses the shared default cache because Auth0Provider does not provide a cache provider. An existing cache entry takes precedence over fallback. SWR also revalidates seeded fallback data by default, so the first test can write data after cleanup() and affect the null-fallback and no-fallback tests. Wrap each render in SWRConfig with provider: () => new Map() and disable mount revalidation where the tests require no fetch.

SWR 2.2.5 revalidate on mount fallback config default revalidateIfStale official documentation

💡 Result:

In SWR 2.2.5, the revalidation behavior on mount is determined by the interaction between the revalidateOnMount and revalidateIfStale configuration options [1][2]. revalidateIfStale The default value for revalidateIfStale is true [3]. This option controls whether SWR should revalidate when the component mounts if stale data already exists in the cache [1]. When set to true, SWR will automatically revalidate upon mounting if cached data is present [1][4]. revalidateOnMount The default value for revalidateOnMount is undefined [1][5]. Because it is undefined by default, SWR falls back to the logic dictated by revalidateIfStale [1][5]. Behavior Summary When a SWR hook mounts, it determines whether to start a revalidation request based on the following logic [1][5]: 1. If revalidateOnMount is explicitly set (true or false), that value takes precedence and determines whether the request starts [1][5]. 2. If revalidateOnMount is undefined (the default), SWR checks for the presence of cached data [1][5]. - If no cached data exists, SWR will start a request [1][5]. - If cached data exists, SWR follows the revalidateIfStale setting (which defaults to true), meaning it will revalidate if set to true, or skip revalidation if set to false [1][5]. Essentially, when revalidateOnMount is undefined, SWR will revalidate on mount if there is no data, or if there is stale data and revalidateIfStale is true [1][5].

Remove the fetch-not-called assertions. SWR revalidates cached fallback data on mount by default because revalidateIfStale defaults to true. Keep the no-loading-flash assertions, or set revalidateOnMount: false if revalidation is not required.

T2.10 asserts the mock, not the SDK.

responseBody is built inside the MSW handler at Line 778. The assertions at Line 813 and Line 814 therefore verify the test fixture. The SDK behavior that matters is that the renew path keeps the original session_token in the re-issued cookie.

Decrypt the response cookie and assert the retained session_token.

The test mocks a 500 response, not a network throw.

The title states "network throw (500)". The handler returns a 500 JSON response, so fetch resolves. The path where fetch rejects stays uncovered.

Use HttpResponse.error() to exercise the rejection path, or rename the test to match the 500 response it mocks.

Assert the cookie attributes this test claims to verify.

The test name states "correct attributes". The assertions check only the cookie name and a truthy value, which duplicates the test at Line 99. The anonymous-session cookie carries an access token, so httpOnly, sameSite, and path are the properties worth pinning.

💚 Proposed assertions
       const anonCookie = cookies.find((c) => c.name === "auth0_anon");
       expect(anonCookie).toBeTruthy();
       expect(anonCookie!.value).toBeTruthy();
+      expect(anonCookie!.httpOnly).toBe(true);
+      expect(anonCookie!.sameSite).toBe("lax");
+      expect(anonCookie!.path).toBe("/");

Align the expected values with the defaults in the anonymous-session cookie configuration.

Risk: Affected versions of next are vulnerable to Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF). This Next.js config defines a rewrites()/redirects() rule whose destination builds an external hostname from a dynamic :param segment. Because the segment is not constrained to hostname-safe characters, an attacker can inject a value (e.g. containing a dot) that escapes the intended hostname suffix, causing Next.js to proxy the request server-side to an arbitrary host (SSRF) or redirect the client to an attacker-controlled destination (open redirect). Constrain each dynamic segment used in a destination hostname to hostname-safe characters (e.g. [a-z0-9-]+), or upgrade Next.js.

Manual Review Advice: A vulnerability from this advisory is reachable if you define a rewrites() or redirects() rule in next.config.js whose destination hostname is assembled from a dynamic :param segment

Fix: Upgrade this library to at least version 16.2.11 at nextjs-auth0/examples/with-anonymous-sessions/pnpm-lock.yaml:2177.

Risk: Affected versions of next are vulnerable to Excessive Iteration. Next.js App Router validates multi-page-application (MPA) form submissions by iterating over every $ACTION_REF_-prefixed form field without an upper bound, decoding a bound-argument descriptor for each one. An attacker can POST a form containing a large number of these fields, forcing excessive CPU usage that blocks processing of further requests in the same process, resulting in a denial of service. Declaring any Server Action ("use server") registers it in the server module map and arms this handler.

Manual Review Advice: A vulnerability from this advisory is reachable if you are using the App Router with at least one Server Action

Risk: Affected versions of sharp are vulnerable to Dependency on Vulnerable Third-Party Component. sharp bundles a vulnerable version of the native libvips library, inheriting four memory-safety flaws: an integer overflow leading to a heap-based buffer overflow in the VIPS loader (vipsload, CVE-2026-33327), an integer overflow in the GIF loader (gifload, CVE-2026-33328) causing a denial of service on 32-bit hosts only, a heap-based buffer overflow in the TIFF loader (tiffload, CVE-2026-35591) when handling JPEG or JPEG2000-encoded tiles, and an out-of-bounds read in the EXIF directory decoder (CVE-2026-35590). An attacker who can supply a crafted image can crash the process or corrupt heap memory. Because sharp selects the libvips loader by sniffing the input bytes, no call site can be shown to be safe, and the EXIF flaw is reachable from the JPEG, TIFF, WebP, PNG and HEIF loaders as well. Upgrade to sharp 0.35.0 or later, which bundles libvips 8.18.3. Blocking the affected loaders with sharp.block({ operation: ["VipsForeignLoadNsgif", "VipsForeignLoadTiff", "VipsForeignLoadVips"] }) is only a partial stopgap and does not mitigate the EXIF out-of-bounds read (CVE-2026-35590), for which no workaround exists.

Fix: Upgrade this library to at least version 0.35.0 at nextjs-auth0/examples/with-anonymous-sessions/pnpm-lock.yaml:2526.

Anonymous-sessions example: browser e2e (Playwright) results

Browser-tier coverage for examples/with-anonymous-sessions/. This tier is a deliberately thin slice over the SDK's unit/integration coverage (see examples/with-anonymous-sessions/COVERAGE.md for the full behavior-by-tier matrix and disclosed gaps). It is not wired into CI, and the live-gated flows are intended to fold into the centralized root e2e/ harness once that suite lands in main.

Local run (Chromium)

Passing:

  • Session-fixation strip (creds-free): a caller-supplied session_token on /auth/login never reaches /authorize, both with no cookie present and when a legitimate anonymous cookie exists (only the cookie-derived token survives).
  • Logout UI (creds-free): clicking logout clears the anonymous cookie and returns home.
  • Error banner (creds-free): a failed session load renders the client hook's error banner.

Gated (skip without a tenant test user):

  • Login-to-link callback: completing a real Universal Login with an anonymous cookie present links the session at callback. Verified live against the dev tenant.

Notes

  • A credential-less run executes the creds-free tests; the fixation-with-cookie case and the live callback skip. Green on such a run is therefore not full security coverage; the load-bearing fixation assertion needs the tenant-minted cookie.
  • The cookie-tamper link-rejection negative is covered by the SDK unit tests (the link flag is asserted false on a digest mismatch), not at the browser tier.

No real secrets in any spec or fixture: gated tests read credentials from a git-ignored .env.local; mocked tests use synthetic token-shaped strings.

Offline e2e tier added (mock-backed, tenant-free)

Follow-up to the browser-tier discussion: the example now ships a deterministic offline Playwright suite that exercises the full anonymous-session flow through the real SDK, mocking only the Auth0 network hop.

How it works

A test-only customFetch (gated by E2E_ANON_MOCK=1) fakes POST /anonymous/token + /anonymous/logout. The SDK still performs its real cookie encrypt / persist / decrypt / renew, so these tests cover the SDK's read/persist/renew/error-mapping paths and the example wiring without a live tenant. Runs on a separate config + port; the existing live-gated specs are untouched.

Run: pnpm test:e2e:offline

Coverage (17 tests, all run unconditionally)

  • Lifecycle: create, create with metadata, client-panel resolution, no-session empty state, metadata render, guest-button create, logout (cookie clear + redirect).
  • Errors: feature-not-enabled and unauthorized-client (403), invalid-target and invalid-scope (400), server-error (500), and oversized metadata rejected client-side (400) before any network call. Each asserts the mapped HTTP status.
  • Renewal + retention: silent renewal on expiry (fresh expiry asserted); metadata set-once retained across renewal (the mock renew omits metadata, so survival proves the SDK retains it from the cookie); single-cookie storage for typical payloads.

Example bug found + fixed

app/api/anon/create/route.ts returned HTTP 500 for every failure (it relied on a status field the error type doesn't carry). It now maps the code via the public getStatusForAnonymousError (@auth0/nextjs-auth0/errors), so create errors surface 401/403/400/500 correctly. Verified across all error scenarios.

Honest scope

  • This tier proves the SDK consume/persist/renew/error-map paths plus example UX, deterministically. It does not prove the real /anonymous/token wire contract (signature, claims, scope): the mock uses an unsigned synthetic token and omits those fields. That remains the live tier.
  • Cookie chunking above the single-cookie threshold is unreachable through the public create path (metadata is capped at 1KB), so it stays covered by the SDK cookie unit tests; the offline test asserts the single-cookie case and documents this.
  • The mock, its scenario-control route, and the gated seam are marked TEST-ONLY / DO NOT COPY TO PRODUCTION; README.md has a production checklist and .env.example warns on the gate. COVERAGE.md maps every behavior to its tier.

Reviewed via a multi-lens quorum (mock fidelity, test quality, prod-safety); all findings applied. No real secrets (synthetic token-shaped values only). Not wired into CI.

Add server-side anonymous sessions: mint a session before login, carry
set-once metadata, read it from Server Components, Route Handlers, and a
client hook, and link it to the real user at callback under a
fixation-safe binding. Additive and off by default (anonymousSession.enabled).

Public API: createAnonymousSession(), getAnonymousSession(),
useAnonymousSession() hook, Auth0Provider props (anonymousSession,
anonymousSessionRoute). New config anonymousSession { enabled, audience,
scope, cookie } and routes /auth/anonymous-session[/logout]. Encrypted
auth0_anon cookie (chunked when large), error-driven silent renewal,
set-once metadata with a 1KB cap. New AnonymousSessionError plus
getStatusForAnonymousError.

Three-layer session-fixation mitigation: strip caller session_token before
authorize, inject only from the SDK's own encrypted cookie, bind a digest to
the login transaction and re-verify at callback (anonymousSessionLinked).
Read path never throws; create throws so callers can surface failures.

Includes docs/anonymous-sessions.md and a README link. 122 dedicated unit
and integration tests; tsc and eslint clean.
