I have joust built a website with a login system. After I’ve just got ready I have scanned it with Acunetix, but I got the following message:
Session Cookie without HttpOnly flag set
Session Cookie without Secure flag set (i guess this is only if I have SSL connection)
So my question would be, that how can I set HttpOnly flag for all my Session data? I’m just using sessions when I log in the users. I’m giving them a session with their userID number and than I’m getting data using that userID.
Is there any simple way that I can set ALL of the session HTTPOnly and secure them, so noone can touch them?
You can either change settings in php.ini, or via
ini_set()calls to changesession.cookie_secureandsession.cookie_httponlyvalues totrue.Alternately, you can use
session_set_cookie_params()before starting your session to get the effect you are looking for.https://www.php.net/manual/en/function.session-set-cookie-params.php
