#postAnonymousTokenwritesclient_secretinto the object thatcreateSessionand#mintTokenpass in. Both callers build a fresh object today, so no secret leaks across calls. The pattern is still fragile: any future caller that reuses, retries with, or logs its body object would then expose the secret. Build the request payload instead.♻️ Proposed refactor

Do not report an ignored token as linked.
Line 502 derives anonymousSessionLinked only from token presence. Auth0 can ignore an expired or invalid session_token. In that case, this code persists the token and returns true even though no anonymous session was linked.
Only persist and report linkage after Auth0 confirms it. If Auth0 does not expose confirmation, rename the result to anonymousSessionLinkRequested and document that it reports the request, not the outcome. Update the linked-login test to cover that contract.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to Anonymous sessions can have inaccurate local expiry, lose continuity under concurrent updates, or remain active when cleanup is expected.

Security Architecture ReviewSecurity architecture risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to Anonymous sessions are optional and have storage and tenant checks, but the new login-linking and cleanup paths leave meaningful questions about cross-tenant handling, transfer-ticket exposure, and whether an anonymous identity is reliably removed after login.

🔒 Security & Privacy | 🛡️ Analyzed with Security Review | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick winBroken Authentication
Reachability: External
Exploitability: Moderate
CWE: CWE-613 — Insufficient Session ExpirationEnforce expiration for the app-owned session.
getAppSessionaccepts any correctly signed cookie, andrequireSessiontreats the decoded payload as an active session. The example includes no payload expiration, session-age validation, or cookie lifetime. A copied valid cookie can therefore remain usable until it is cleared or replaced.Include an expiration timestamp in the signed payload, reject expired payloads during verification, and set a matching cookie lifetime. The surrounding text says to replace this pattern with the application's existing session mechanism, so document the expiration safeguard explicitly if this sketch remains.

Make anonymous-store mutations conditional and atomic.
Concurrent token requests are supported, and createSession() can replace an existing session. If an old request receives a replacement sessionToken, the unconditional delete() can remove the newer session, including its identity metadata and cached tokens. The visitor then loses continuity with that anonymous identity; this is not only a recoverable token-cache miss. Separately, concurrent read-check-set operations can discard another request’s cached token set.
Use store operations that atomically verify the sessionToken before deleting and atomically merge token sets, such as conditional delete and compare-and-swap/update operations.

Keep the anonymous-store lookup fail-open.
If anonymousStore.get() rejects, startInteractiveLogin() exits before buildAuthorizationUrl() runs. Transfer linking is optional: mintTransferToken() is explicitly fail-open, and the URL includes anon_transfer_token only when a ticket exists. Catch the store-read failure and continue without the ticket.

| - `sub`: the anonymous identity, in the form `anon@<uuid>`. This is the subject your API sees on an anonymous access token, so it is the key you store anonymous data under. It is `undefined` when the access token cannot be read, which happens when the API you requested a token for has token encryption (`token_encryption`) enabled: the access token is then an encrypted JWE and only that API can read its claims. For such an audience the anonymous `sub` cannot be obtained through this SDK at all, so if you need it, request a token for an audience that does not encrypt. |

Correct the encrypted-token sub limitation.
An encrypted token can leave sub undefined at creation. A later renewal for an audience with a readable token can populate it: ServerAnonymousClient.getAccessToken() explicitly does this when sub is missing. Correct this statement and the absolute claim at Line 795 so applications do not treat the first audience as their only chance to obtain sub.

Store the session expiry returned at creation.
AnonymousSessionClient.createSession() returns sessionTokenExpiresAt, but ServerAnonymousClient.createSession() omits it from AnonymousStateData. The store then uses its configured lifetime, which can cause getSession() to retain an expired session or discard a valid session early.
Suggested fix
const stateData: AnonymousStateData = {
sessionToken: session.sessionToken,
+ sessionTokenExpiresAt: session.sessionTokenExpiresAt,
sub: readAnonymousSub(session.accessToken),📝 Committable suggestion

- auth0-auth-js: add mintTransferToken() to AnonymousSessionClient — posts to /anonymous/token with audience urn:auth0:anon_transfer and returns the 30s JWE ticket string, or null on any failure (fail-open) - auth0-auth-js: add anon_transfer_token to AuthorizationParameters so upper-layer SDKs can pass it through buildAuthorizationUrl - auth0-server-js: wire transfer ticket into startInteractiveLogin() — when an anonymous session is active the ticket is always minted and appended to /authorize; no opt-in flag needed because the auth0_anon cookie path is structurally broken for RWA (cookie goes to Node.js, never the browser)
…sfer Ticket startInteractiveLogin() now automatically mints a transfer ticket when an anonymous session is active, so the "not linked" limitation no longer applies to redirect-based login flows.

… comments - Trim verbose JSDoc across ServerAnonymousClient methods, anonymous types, and AnonymousTokenSet — consumer-facing language, redundancy removed - Mark AnonymousTokenSet.requestedScope as @internal; update EXAMPLES.md to drop the field reference and surface the scope-narrowing guidance instead - Switch getAccessToken expiry detection from session token comparison to renewed.sessionReplaced (auth0-auth-js contract, clearer intent) - Remove stale @throws {AnonymousSessionError} from getAccessToken JSDoc - Remove TODO comment from concurrency re-read guard
- Clarify sub backfill behaviour in EXAMPLES.md (sub may be undefined until a non-encrypted audience is used, then SDK fills it in automatically) - Fix merge guidance contradiction in EXAMPLES.md (Auth0 does auto-link at /authorize via transfer ticket; application data merge is still developer responsibility) - Expand getAccessToken cache description in README.md to include cache miss case, not only expiry - Forward sessionTokenExpiresAt from createSession response into AnonymousStateData (no-op today but future-proofs once auth0-auth-js surfaces session_expires_in)
Transfer ticket support in startInteractiveLogin() means /authorize flows now auto-link the anonymous session. Update the getter JSDoc to reflect that, and clarify which login paths do not link (passkey, passwordless, backchannel, custom token exchange).

…eractiveLogin If the anonymous store throws during startInteractiveLogin, login should still proceed without the transfer ticket rather than failing entirely. Consistent with mintTransferToken already being fail-open.

What this does
Adds an
anonymoussub-client toServerClient, so an application can give a visitor who has not logged in a stable identity (anon@<uuid>) and an access token for its own API. This lets a server serve personalized data before authentication.The feature is off by default. It turns on when you pass an
anonymousStore.Public API

The anonymous session lives in its own store. An anonymous visitor must not look like a logged in user, so
serverClient.getSession()andserverClient.getUser()keep returningundefinedwhile an anonymous session is active.The anonymous session token never leaves the SDK. It is a long lived bearer credential for the anonymous identity, so it is kept in the store and stripped from what
getSession()returns. Applications only ever receive access tokens, the same as for a user session.Only
createSession()creates a session. Nothing creates one implicitly. If the stored session has expired,getAccessToken()deletes it and throwsAnonymousSessionExpiredErrorrather than silently moving the visitor onto a new anonymous identity and dropping theirmetadata.Access tokens are cached per
audienceand per requestedscope. Auth0 can grant a narrowerscopethan was asked for and still answer successfully, so the requested scope is recorded on the cache entry asrequestedScope(marked@internal) when it differs from what was granted. Keying the cache on the granted scope alone would never match the request that produced it, so every call would mint a new token.tokenSet.scopestill reports what the token actually carries.Logging in ends the anonymous session. Every method that writes a user session clears it, as does
serverClient.logout(). This is wired through a smallonUserSessionEstablishedcallback on the passkey and MFA sub-clients so they clear it at the same point as the other login paths. Readanonymous.getSession()before completing the login if you need the anonymoussubto merge data.getAccessToken()re-reads the store before writing back. Two concurrent requests for different audiences would otherwise overwrite each other's cached token. It also skips the write if the session was replaced while it was waiting on Auth0.StatelessAnonymousStorekeeps everything in an encryptedHttpOnlycookie, chunked when it does not fit, withMax-Ageanchored tocreatedAtso renewing an access token never extends the anonymous session's own lifetime.In resolver (multi-tenant) mode the stored session is bound to the domain it was created for, since its session token means nothing on another tenant.
Linking to the user created at login
startInteractiveLogin()links an active anonymous session to the user at login automatically. WhenanonymousStoreis configured and a session is in the store, the SDK mints a Session Transfer Ticket before the redirect and appends it to the/authorizeURL asanon_transfer_token. Auth0 redeems the ticket during authorization and makes the anonymous session available to Actions asevent.anonymous_session. No extra configuration is required.The ticket is short-lived (30 seconds), stateless, and fail-open: if minting fails or the ticket expires before
/authorizeprocesses it, login proceeds without linking the anonymous session.The logins that do not go through
/authorizecannot carry the ticket:passkey.getToken(),completePasswordless(),completePasswordlessMagicLink(),loginBackchannel(), andloginWithCustomTokenExchange(). For those flows, do the merge in your own application using the anonymoussub, as documented inEXAMPLES.md.Tests
