User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.13; rv:66.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/66.0

Steps to reproduce:

Load a page that has a link to its manifest like that defined in https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Manifest

Actual results:

Request is made with both the "Cookie" and "Authorization" headers if they exist.

Expected results:

Expected credentials to only be included if the manifest tag included "crossorigin=use-credentials"

Hi,

Thank you for reporting this issue.

The verification was done on device: Sony Xperia Z5 and Build Firefox Nightly 68.0a1(2019-05-15)

What device and firmware have you used when discovering the issue?

Can you provide more information?

After a bit of investigation, based on what you say, I understand that you go to page: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Manifest and tap on "Sign In" link from the upper part of the page.

After the GitHub - "Sign In" page is opened, the credentials are set in the fields, without the fact that the HTML page does not have in tag <link>, element: crossorigin="use-credentials".

Did I understood correctly?

If this is the case the <link> tag's element contain this information based on the page's html file Manifest_CrossOrigin_User-Credentials

Regards,
Diana

Sorry, I should have clarified. I haven't tried reproducing this issue on the site https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Manifest. I was just linking to the documentation page for the tag that I think is being mishandled.

If a page has something like <link rel="manifest" href="/manifest.webmanifest"> on it, FF mobile will fetch "/manifest.webmanifest" with Authorization and Cookie headers set for that origin if they exist. I was expecting that not to happen if the <link> tag did not explicitly have crossorigin=use-credentials.

That documentation page I referred to has this:
Note: If the manifest requires credentials to fetch - the crossorigin attribute must be set to "use-credentials", even if the manifest file is in the same orgin of the current page.

I tested this on Chrome desktop, and it does what I expect - no Authorization or Cookie headers are populated for the manifest request while they are present for other pages on the same origin. If "crossorigin=use-credentials" is added to the <link>, both headers are sent.

Hi,

What device and firmware are you using?
Can you specify which web app you use?

Thanks,
Diana

Samsung Galaxy s9+
Android version 9

This is from testing an internal app. I don't have an example of a public website.
I guess a simple test case would be a page like this:

<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
document.cookie = "foo=bar";
</script>
<link rel="manifest" href="/manifest.webmanifest">
</head>
</html>

A request to /manifest.webmanifest will be made with the header "Cookie: foo=bar".

Hi Chris, this seems to be a gecko view issue can you help with the triage?

Marcos, in which Bugzilla component should this webmanifest bug report go? Do we have tests for loading cross-origin manifests with and without crossorigin="use-credentials"?

Do we have tests for loading cross-origin manifests with and without crossorigin="use-credentials"?

I think so, but will check.

Ever confirmed: true

tests that confirm we are not sending credentials by default

Added some tests, but I was not able to reproduce the behavior... so maybe it got fixed at some point.

In ManifestObtainer.jsm, we always explicitly "omit":
https://github.com/mozilla/gecko-dev/blob/master/dom/manifest/ManifestObtainer.jsm#L152-L162

(it's also the default in the Fetch spec)

I'd like to land the tests nonetheless... I'll see if I can find someone to review them.
