Cannot add new entries after patch from 2.1.0 to 2.2.0

After upgrade from 2.1.0 to 2.2.0 it is no longer possible to create new entries to passbolt. The error.log of passbolt shows entries like:

2018-08-15 17:09:23 Error: [Cake\Network\Exception\InvalidCsrfTokenException] CSRF token mismatch.
Request URL: /resources.json?api-version=v2
Referer URL: http://passbolt1./

When go back to 2.1.0 the error is no longer existent. So it seems that the passbolt patch is the reason for this behavior (and not the parallel done OS patch).

It is not relevant to add a “server_name” (some forums discussed this) directive to /etc/nginx/conf.d/default.conf or to comment out “add_header X-XSS-Protection” or set it to “0”. In my opinion the error messages are not generated from nginx but from the passbolt application so that it seems logical that the nginx configuration changes are not working.

Hello @mebersbach,
Can you clean your browser cache and tell me if the error is still occurring with v2.2.0.

Hello @cedric

Bingo - this has solved the problem!

Funny - in a second browser I had re-registered because of the problems, but then got the error there too. I would not have expected that.

But - it works - thank you very much!

Thank you for the report
I added a task to our current sprint to investigate this cache issue.
