Description
### Summary On AWS Lambda, the ALB single-header response and the VPC Lattice v2 response join multiple `Set-Cookie` headers into one comma-separated value. Because commas also appear inside cookie attributes (for example `Expires` dates), clients cannot split the value back into individual cookies and silently drop or misparse them. ### Details Per RFC 6265, each cookie must be its own `Set-Cookie` header line, and commas may appear inside attribute values. Joining cookies with `", "` collides with those commas, producing a value that clients cannot reliably split. Only ALB single-header mode and VPC Lattice v2 are affected; API Gateway v1/v2 and ALB with multi-value headers enabled already use an array and are unaffected. ### Impact A client may receive only one of the cookies, a malformed cookie, or none. Session, CSRF, or preference cookies can silently fail to apply, breaking sessions or forcing re-authentication. This affects applications that set multiple cookies per response and run on AWS Lambda behind an ALB in single-header mode (the default) or VPC Lattice v2.
