AI-suggested

Upgrade haxcms-php to version 26.0.0 or later, where the haxcms_refresh_token cookie is set with the Secure attribute. This official fix ensures the cookie is only transmitted over encrypted HTTPS connections, mitigating the risk of interception. Until the upgrade is applied, avoid using unencrypted HTTP connections to access the application to reduce exposure.

Description

HAX CMS helps manage microsite universe with PHP or NodeJs backends. Starting in version 25.0.0 and prior to version 26.0.0, the haxcms_refresh_token cookie is set without the Secure flag. This allows it to be transmitted over unencrypted HTTP, making it vulnerable to theft via packet sniffing on the network. Version 26.0.0 fixes the issue.
