### Impact Setting `$secure` or `$httponly` value to `true` in `Config\Cookie` is not reflected in `set_cookie()` or `Response::setCookie()`.

> **Note** > This vulnerability does not affect session cookies.

The following code does not issue a cookie with the secure flag even if you set `$secure = true` in `Config\Cookie`.

```php helper('cookie');

$cookie = [ 'name' => $name, 'value' => $value, ]; set_cookie($cookie); // or $this->response->setCookie($cookie); ```

### Patches Upgrade to v4.2.7 or later.

### Workarounds 1. Specify the options explicitly. ```php helper('cookie');

$cookie = [ 'name' => $name, 'value' => $value, 'secure' => true, 'httponly' => true, ]; set_cookie($cookie); // or $this->response->setCookie($cookie); ``` 2. Use Cookie object. ```php use CodeIgniter\Cookie\Cookie;

helper('cookie');

$cookie = new Cookie($name, $value); set_cookie($cookie); // or $this->response->setCookie($cookie); ```
