sessionStorage is not isolated by site

Summary
sessionStorage is not isolated by site
Steven Englehardt
Reported
2020-04-20 17:48:29 PDT
window.sessionStorage is not isolated by the top-level site, and thus is a cross-site tracking vector. Example: 1. A user visits example.com which embeds tracker.example 2. tracker.example checks window.sessionStorage. If empty it reads an ID from persistent, site-isolated storage (e.g., localStorage) and writes it to sessionStorage. 3. The user visits news.example, which also embeds tracker.example. 4. tracker.example checks window.sessionStorage, sees the unique ID, and writes it out to persistent site-isolated storage under news.example. 5. Repeat as the user browsers the web.

I have marked this test as a flaky failure while this issue is investigated.
