This regression has been introduced by the fix for bug #79699, because cookie names are no longer URL decoded, but session_name() still URL encodes the session name. Note that PHP 7.3 is out of active support, so this will not be fixed for that version. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2021-02-19 09:04:47] chirpinternet at gmail dot com Description: ------------ We have a trait for handling sessions, which includes (abbreviated): trait SessionOpenCloseTrait { protected function open_session($name) { session_name($name); session_start(); } } Other classes invoke this using __CLASS__ as the $name parameter: class SecureToken { use SessionOpenCloseTrait; public function __construct() { $this->open_session(__CLASS__); } } When namespaced, __CLASS__ contains a backslash (e.g. "Parent\SecureToken"). This has not been a problem until a security upgrade took us from 7.3.19 to 7.3.27. After the upgrade the SESSION was being written to the server as normal, but no longer accessible on subsequent requests. *Possibly* due to encoding of the cookie name. To fix this, we had to remove the '\': protected function open_session($name) { + $name = str_replace("\\", "", $name); session_name($name); session_start(); } ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=80774&edit=1
