Cookie mage-messages has secure flag not set

[Mycha de Vrees]

Preconditions and environment

• Magento version 2.4.6-p5 Commerce edition
• PHP 8.2

Steps to reproduce

1. Trigger the creation of the mage-messages cookie by for example adding a product to cart
2. In \Magento\Theme\Controller\Result\MessagePlugin::setCookie the mage-messages cookie is created
3. In the setCookie method the $publicCookieMetadata->setSecure($this->sessionConfig->getCookieSecure()); is not set / missing and apparently not marking the mage-messages as secure. If I add setSecure the mage-messages cookie is marked secure:

Expected result

I expected the mage-messages cookie to be also set as secure.

Actual result

The mage-messages cookie isn't marked as secure.

Additional information

I've tried searching for this specific issue in the github issue tracker but could not find any.

Hello @mdevrees,

Thanks for the report and collaboration!

We have tried to reproduce the issue in the 2.4-develop branch and we have observed that the mage-messages cookie not secure. But it seems it is working as expected.

Please go through the documentation related to it:

https://experienceleague.adobe.com/en/docs/commerce-admin/start/compliance/privacy/compliance-cookie-law#mage-messages

And let us know the use case where you need this cookie should be secure.

Thanks

Hi @engcom-Hotel

Seeing the compliance cookie law regarding mage-messages, then yes, you are correct in it not being (or having to be) secure.
The cookie not being secure was a point of action coming from a security scan. In order to comply with that, I added the change mentioned in the Steps to Reproduce in the description of this ticket.
