Research direction

Start by tracing the InAppBrowser and Cordova WKWebView session entry points described in the report, using the stated plugin and iOS versions as the reproduction target. Verify whether authentication cookies are shared between the two browser contexts and document the expected behavior or a supported path for making the cookie available after authentication.
