Problem Description:
In Application.cfc for the last several years on CF8 and CF10, we have this line in the implicit init (e.g., outside of any functions):
<cfif structKeyExists(cookie, "cfid")>
<cfset structDelete(cookie, "cfid", false) />
<cfset structDelete(cookie, "cftoken", false)>
</cfif>
Upon installing U15, this now results in a NullPointerException.
I was told about the option in the CFAdmin to disable modification of the internal CF cookies. On one server, it was already allowed but still I received NPEs. On another server I updated last night, it was prohibited. I changed the setting but I'm still getting NPEs.
This doesn't seem to happen to all users. I was able to load the page while another user was not (and i could see the stack traces in exception.log as she loaded the page). But, on my development laptop, it happens to me every single time and I'm the only user.
Steps to Reproduce:
Create an application.cfc with the above code before any functions are defined. Load a page.
We've seen it in multiple browsers/platforms (Safari/Mac, Chrome and FF/Windows).
Actual Result:
NullPointerException (which, btw, does not trigger the CF Default error page so we don't get notifications or anything else when this happens..)
Expected Result:
It should delete the cookie like it used to and not throw an error.
Any Workarounds:
Removing the above code.
