Problem description: after login I receive a 419 page, also session token keeps changing which causes Auth::check() to fail. Database token stays the same but on Laravel side session token keeps changing.
Locally it works this only occurs on live server that this happens.
What I have tried:
php artisan cache:clear
php artisan route:cache
php artisan config:clear
php artisan view:clear
composer update
composer dump-autoload
create fresh installation copy fresh one into old version and dont overwrite
changed cache from file to database
confirmed `/public/index.php` is correct
SESSION_LIFETIME = 120
SESSION_DOMAIN set to domain
generated new app key
checked file permissions
Session token changes:
As the snippets show my session token keeps changing but does not update in the database.
Update
Before the Laravel redirects the auth check passes but is not yet saved, after redirect session token changes and auth check fails. So from what I can tell something is causing my session token to continuously change after redirects.
My problem was fixed by assigning false value to: SESSION_SECURE_COOKIE in config/session.php:
'secure' => env('SESSION_SECURE_COOKIE', false),

I have previously transferred laravel from server to another by copying the laravel project folder, now when i try to login using default laravel auth page , if i enter wrong auth value i get error auth.failed
but when i enter a valid auth value the page refresh but nothing happen.
I notice from browser view source the value of CSRF token is changing one i enter the valid auth value
I tried to delete the session files /storage/framework/sessions
and tried
php artisan view:clear
php aritsan cache:clear
but nothing happen.
How can i fix this issue.
Use Laravel Debugbar for easily debugging such kind of cases.
It's good, simple and sweet ^
I fixed the issue.
In the previous server i was using SSL for my domain so the cookies setting in /config/session.php was true:-
'secure' => env('SESSION_SECURE_COOKIE', true),
Since, the current new server i am not using https when i open my website, so i set the value to false
'secure' => env('SESSION_SECURE_COOKIE', false),
Now everything working fine.
Can't test applications with Laravel Dusk if the app uses Laravel Passport for authentication. It's always 404 and if you stop the test with ->stop() it starts working.
The app is located: localhost:3000
and all requests are proxied to api.example.test
I've tried to authenticate the user inside the test:
$this->actingAs(User::find(1), 'api');
$browser->loginAs(User::find(1));
Passport::actingAs($this->user);
But still the same.
That's not the only problem, I think the main issue is also that I can't log in with Dusk by filling out the form and click "login"
$browser->visit('/login')
->type('#email', 'john#doe.com')
->type('#password', 'password')
->click('#login-button')
->waitForLocation('/');
But again, if you stop the test with ->stop() you can manually click the button and it will log you in.
Is Laravel Dusk useless if your app does not use basic auth?
Solved.
The problem was that my Dusk .env file had APP_URL=localhost:3000 where the front-end is located, but my APIs .env file had APP_URL=api.exmaple.com and that's why in my AuthController, I issued the token from env('APP_URL').'/oauth/token' <- which resulted in Dusk env to localhost:3000/oauth/token which is ofc 404
I changed that to env('API_URL') and added that value to my both .env files.
I Want to run my application in localhost with php artisan serve but I get this Error unserialize(): Error at offset 0 of 40 bytes where is my problem?
You have to set a news Key Generate because
php artisan key:generate
After that test again to run the Laravel Application
php artisan serve
I got the same error, when I upgrade a Laravel 5.5 app to 5.6. The error comes form the EncryptCookies-Middleware.
Delete the cookies in your browser and/or clear your session-files in your Laravel app.
I've faced same problem. I frequently faced this problem in Homestead-vagrant environment.
To solve this issue in Laravel 5.4,5.5,5.6 or more -
php artisan config:clear
php artisan view:clear
php artisan key:generate
I got the same error a couple of days ago when I pushed a production update to my Laravel project from Envoyer.
Immediate fix:
I tried to rollback to the previous commit but the issue persisted which means the issue was originating from the client side, cookies probably. I tried removing cookies and the issue was gone.
Later, I spent a lot of time looking for this issue but got nothing until I faced this issue again today with another deployment and i found this article on Laravel news about the security fix 5.6.30 update. I was able to identify that this issue occurs if i try to deploy previous (< 5.6.30) version of the laravel v5.6.26 for a project which was already using > v5.6.30 and cookies were already created ( not serliazed) which when <5.6.30 version of the framework tries to unserlize results in error because they're not properly serealized.
Installing laravel/framework (v5.6.26)
Loading from cache
From the upgrade guide:
Configuring Cookie Serialization Since this vulnerability is not able
to be exploited without access to your application's encryption key,
we have chosen to provide a way to re-enable encrypted cookie
serialization while you make your application compatible with these
changes. To enable / disable cookie serialization, you may change the
static serialize property of the App\Http\Middleware\EncryptCookies
middleware:
I was able to fix this issue permanently by clearing cache of composer so forcing it to load latest version of the framework instead of falling back to cache.
Hope this helps.
Bests,
Just Inspect the element in Browser, and go to application tab and select cookie and delete that all cookie. That's It.
In App\Exceptions\Handler under render function use this snippet, it will reset browser cookie.
if (str_contains($exception->getMessage(), 'unserialize')) {
$cookie1 = \Cookie::forget('laravel_session');
$cookie2 = \Cookie::forget('XSRF-TOKEN');
return redirect()->to('/')
->withCookie($cookie1)
->withCookie($cookie2);
}
In my case I did removed my composer.lock and did a composer install and voila...
$ cd project_root
$ rm composer.lock
$ composer install
I also encountered this issue when I happened to update my composer.
If you put
protected static $serialize = true;
inside App\Http\Middleware\EncryptCookies, the old cookie will break your system. So to prevent this, either you have to clear the cookie, or just don't unserialize the decrypted cookie.
I made a workaround for this:
Inside vendor/laravel/framework/src/Illuminate/Encryption/Encrypter.php
Above this line of decrypt() function:
return $unserialize ? unserialize($decrypted) : $decrypted;
add:
try {
return $unserialize ? unserialize($decrypted) : $decrypted;
} catch (\Exception $e){
return $decrypted;
}
This might be ugly, but you can temporarily put it there until you think the old cookies has gone.
In my case, I was trying to decrypt a hash with an wrong function.
I was creating encrypt using encryptString()
$hash = Crypt::encryptString('secret');
but I tried to decrypt using decrypt()
$value = Crypt::decrypt($hash);
the correct way is
$value = Crypt::decryptString($hash);
So when you encrypt using Crypt::encrypt() you must decrypt it using Crypt::decrypt(), and for Crypt::encryptString() use Crypt::decryptString()
The first thing you should do is clear the configuration cache file
php artisan config:clear
Then create a new key for the application
php artisan key:generate
Finally, restart the server.. I hope it will fix your problem.
In my case happened during local development.
The steps that caused the problem was:
I upgraded the laravel up to 5.8 on a seperate branch.
I switched into an another branch having laravel 5.2 (in my case I had to review a PR)
I also was logged in in my app and hence there was a session cookie as well. In that case I just cleared the browser's cookies and got fresh ones.
In firefox can be done via visiting then select about:preferences#privacy and select the appropriate option. as the following images show (in Greek)
Privacy setting and an indication where the user to click
An anothwer aproach to diagnose the issue it to open a private firefox window or use chrome's cognito mode.
yeah, for localhost you can just delete cookies, but for production put this in your error handler so users would not see whoops :
if (strpos($exception->getMessage(), 'unserialize(): Error at offset 0 of 40 bytes') === 0) {
unset($_COOKIE['laravel_session']);
unset($_COOKIE['XSRF-TOKEN']);
setcookie('laravel_session', null, -1, '/');
setcookie('XSRF-TOKEN', null, -1, '/');
abort(200, '', ['Location' => route('frontend.home')]);
}
PS. tested for laravel 5.6.
you will just run in terminal
composer global update
I have a problem. I have 2 computers, the first is Ubuntu and the second is Windows 10. Both computers have a bundle of Vagrant + VirtualBox + Homestead. On a computer with Ubuntu, everything works fine, and on a computer with Windows 10 when I try to send a form to the server, I get the status 419 and the message:
The page has expired due to inactivity. Please refresh and try again.
The CSRF token is updated every time the page is refreshed. This is a clean installation of Laravel + php artisan make:auth and php artisan migrate (default tables) in the clean Homestead environment on both PC. The rights to the session directory are full, the user is vagrant, the group is vagrant. Session file is created..env files are identical (standard), except for the name of the database. What could be the problem? I really need your help!
All the advice on a similar problem did not help me. Cache view, config, etc. i cleaned, the key generated anew. The browser cache was cleaned, cookies checked - on the spot. The only difference between the two computers is the operating system, but does it matter when Laravel is on the Homestead virtual machine?
From your video, change the APP_NAME in your .env file to something other than ‘Laravel’.
I would bet, you have other sites running under the same local URL that have the same APP_NAME.
Changing the APP_NAME changes the session cookie name in config/sessions.php
'cookie' => env(
'SESSION_COOKIE',
str_slug(env('APP_NAME', 'laravel'), '_').'_session'
),
You can manually override the cookie name by setting the SESSION_COOKIE variable in your .env file OR let it fallback to the calculated slug above that utilizes the app name (2nd parameter).
Google Chrome is the only browser this happens in for some reason. I spent almost a year trying to figure this problem out and this was the solution!
Add the route entry in app/Http/Middleware/VerifyCsrfToken.php
protected $except = [
'your/route'
];
If you have already included the CSRF token in your form. Then you are getting the error page possibly beacuse of cache data in your form. Open your terminal / command prompt and run these commands in your project root.
php artisan cache:clear
php artisan config:clear
php artisan route:clear
php artisan view:clear
Also try to clear the browser cache along with running these commands.
Make sure the session secure value in file app / config / session.php is set to null.
'secure' => env('SESSION_SECURE_COOKIE', false),
I'm building a web app in my local system (Ubuntu-14.04 64Bit) using laravel 5.3. I used Socialite to signin from social networks. I configured G+, Facebook, GitHug. I'm using Chromium as my default browser. Finally the problem is i'm getting
InvalidStateException in AbstractProvider.php line 200
frequently. i tried
php artisan cache:clear
php artisan config:clear
composer dump-autoload
these are helping to solve the issue temporarily, again the problem raising.
please help me in this issue..
I have the same issue and I've read a lot about this, that depend if the URL where you are at the moment of the login request has www. at the beginning or not.
Into config\services.php, if you have the redirect set as http://sitename.tld/callback/facebook the oauth works if you send the login request from sitename.tld, while if you try from www.sitename.tld you get the exception.
I haven't yet understood how to have it working with and without www at the beginning.
If the AbstractProvider.php line 200 fires the exception when the state of the user is not present means that the User cannot be created.
First check your code when you get the details from the provider(facebook, github) if you create a user and you return it.
If you have managed and logged in your app and you deleted the user from the user table remember to delete also the data from the socialite account table.
I was getting that exception because 'state' wasn't saved in session. But I was using asPopup method - Socialite::driver('facebook')->asPopup()->redirect(); so I saved session then - $request->session()->save();. So I solved this issue.
or try
session()->put('state', $request->input('state'));
$user = Socialite::driver('facebook')->user();
it works
I have same issue and solved in 3 steps;
add request on the top
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
Pass request object to function
public function handleProviderCallback(Request $request)
{
try {
$user = Socialite::driver('facebook')->user();
} catch (Exception $e) {
throw new Exception;
}
}
Clear cache.
php artisan cache:clear
I had the same error but my solution was a little different. I am posting here just in case someone else keeps hitting this post like I did for a possible answer.
I develop on Ubuntu 18.04 desktop since it is a server with a GUI. Socialite works great locally but as soon as I pushed/pulled the changes through git to the server, it quit.
I was running traces by recording what was sent to and from google. I "dd($_GET)" to get a raw dump before Socialite had a chance to get the info so I knew what was stored and ready for use. All info was there but Socialite didn't seem to "see" it. That is when I reasoned it was my apache2 header configuration interfering with the cookies/session data.
I had set header security in my apache2 configs. One of the settings was
Header always edit Set-Cookie ^(.*) "$1;HttpOnly;Secure;SameSite=Strict"
This setting was interfering with the cookie information that socialite needed. I removed that setting from my apache2 header config(by commenting out) and restarted Apache. Finally I removed all sessions in storage/framework/session/* and cleared them from my browser just to be sure. That worked for me.
After I got it working, one by one enabled and tested each of the following settings to have the framework secure what header info it can:
SESSION_SECURE_COOKIE=true
in my .env file
'http_only' => true, and
'same_site' => 'lax'(setting to "strict" did not seem to work)
in my config/session.php file.
Now it is back to testing security and tweaking things back if need be.
