Hey folks,
Looks like the `sessionid` cookie handles session id but misses `Secure` flag. Cookies without this flag will transmitted over unencrypted channel and let's the man in the middle attackers to grab the value.
### Attack Vector
- Attacker passes a http:// hosted website link
- Victim clicks the link
- Browser passes the session cookie over http
- MITIM attacker gets the value and take over the account
With the #224287, this made more simpler.
### Suggested Fix
Set the Secure flag true for the session id and any other sensitive cookies.
