About the changes
This fixes #8029. How to reproduce the issue is in the ticket.
The issue happens because when a web app is hosted in the same domain as Unleash UI and the web app uses unleash SDK to make requests to Unleash, the browser automatically includes the cookie in the request headers, because:
And this is by design in the HTTP cookie specification: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc6265
This PR avoids overriding the API user with the session user if there's already an API user in the request. It's an alternative to #8434
Closes #8029
