Cookie dan sesi for SvelteKit

high5 checks

Session cookies are the keys to an account. Missing attributes turn a single XSS bug into full account takeover.

What SvelteKit must have

  • Secure attribute on every cookie
  • HttpOnly on session cookies
  • SameSite=Lax or Strict on session cookies
  • No session identifier in URLs or localStorage
  • Session rotation after login and logout invalidation

How to fix it

  1. 1Set cookie attributes at the framework level so every cookie inherits them
  2. 2Move tokens out of localStorage to HttpOnly cookies

SvelteKit context

Svelte meta-framework with SSR and form actions.

Form actions and load functions are the trust boundary; keep secrets in server-only modules.
