Allow the v2 encryptor to serialize messages with Marshal - #44
Merged

Conversation
Marshal and JSON serialization are unavoidably different. A key difference being that JSON serializes ruby symbols as strings, while Marshal preserves them as symbols.

Just touching base here - any chance you are able to rebase on main? |

There was a problem hiding this comment.
Let's take the conservative approach for now, we can revisit making JSON the default later.

This is a follow-up on #39 that must be merged first.
I deliberately avoided allowing
Marshalserialization in the v2 encryptor because 1)Marshalhas been a source of RCE vulnerabilities and 2) serializing messages as JSON allows for better interoperability, making it trivial to access sessions created with rack-session in other languages.However, it's impossible to swap
MarhalwithJSONwithout breaking users' code that relies onMarhalbehavior thatJSONdoesn't mimic (e.g., preserving ruby symbols).So... I see 3 ways forward:
Happy to hear some feedback.
