This write up doesn’t make sense. Authenticated users are the ones without a Set-Cookie? Surely the ones with the cookie set are the authenticated ones?

There are dozens of contradictions, like first they say:

“this may have resulted in potentially authenticated data being served to unauthenticated users”

and then just a few sentences later say

“potentially unauthenticated data is served to authenticated users”

which is the opposite. Which one is it?

Am I missing something, or is this article poorly reviewed?

Fixed the typo in that second paragraph and aligned the section on the Set-Cookie stuff. Anything else that can be made more clear?
