Cause
In February 2020, Google Chrome 80 implemented a secure cookie model, changing
the default value of the SameSite
cookie attribute from
None
to Lax
. This change negatively
affects all deployments that use Pega web mashups running on Pega Platform 7.2 to 8.4, which require the prescribed
solution.
Solution
Apply a hotfix or upgrade to a Pega Platform Patch Release:
Obtain and install the hotfixes for Pega Platform 7.2.x to 7.4, or upgrade to the designated Pega Platform 8.x Platform Patch Release.
Pega Platform Release Hotfix or Platform Patch Release 7.2 HFix-60723 7.2.1 HFix-60801 7.2.2 HFix-60346 7.3 HFix-60724 7.3.1 HFix-60725 7.4 HFix-60726 8.1.x Pega 8.1.9 8.2.x Pega 8.2.8 8.3.x Pega 8.3.4 8.4.x Pega 8.4.3 8.5.x Pega 8.5.1 Create a dynamic system setting with the following properties:
- Owning Ruleset: Pega-Engine
- Setting Purpose: security/csrf/samesitecookieattributevalue
- Value: none
For more information, see Creating a dynamic system setting.
For Pega Platform 8.2 and earlier releases, restart the server for the dynamic system setting to take effect.
For Pega Platform 8.3 and later releases, when you add or update the security/csrf/samesitecookieattributevalue dynamic system setting, you do not need to restart the server or clustered servers.
