I'm pretty sure we're many forgetting to make session cookies "secure".
Here is an "auto" mode that makes them secure automatically when the session is started on requests with the "https" scheme.

I'm also using it by default on my projects because it's important, making it default seems to be a good option to me 👍

src/Symfony/Component/HttpKernel/EventListener/SessionListener.php

+            && ($storage = $this->container->get('session_storage')) instanceof NativeSessionStorage
+            && $this->container->get('request_stack')->getMasterRequest()->isSecure()
+        ) {
+            $storage->setOptions(array('cookie_secure' => true));


Might be a silly question but are we sure that this is called before the storage start?

We can throw a deprecation if that's not the case so that we ensure we can provide good security in 5.0. WDYT?

Yep, sounds good to me 👍

Also, this option should only be set when framework.session.cookie_secure === auto, not all the time. Looks like it is calling this option even if the option is set as false here.

Actually, we don't care: NativeSessionStorage::setOptions starts with:

if (headers_sent() || \PHP_SESSION_ACTIVE === session_status()) { return; }

But... we do care because if it is called after the start then the cookie_secure will not be configured which will end up having the secure cookie not configured 🤔

"auto" must mean "best effort".
If you want to be sure to have secure, just make your config explicit.

this option should only be set when framework.session.cookie_secure === auto

Which is already the case because "session_storage" is passed to "session.listener" only when framework.session.cookie_secure === auto. I added a note in the docblock of SessionListener about this.

...ymfony/Bundle/SecurityBundle/DependencyInjection/Compiler/AddSessionDomainConstraintPass.php

-        $container->findDefinition('security.http_utils')->addArgument(sprintf('{^%s$}i', $domainRegexp));
+        if ('auto' === ($sessionOptions['cookie_secure'] ?? null)) {
+            $secureDomainRegexp = sprintf('{^https://%s$}i', $domainRegexp);
+            $domainRegexp = 'https?://'.$domainRegexp;


moving the regex composition to runtime would solve #28051

worth to have look in this PR?

that's independent, it would deserve its own line in the changelog
