Root Cause Analysis
The vulnerability stems from missing Secure attribute on session cookies. The commit diff shows the fix was adding SESSION_COOKIE_SECURE configuration in the _configure_session method. This function directly controls cookie security attributes, and its pre-patch version failed to set the Secure flag despite the system supporting HTTPS, making it the root cause. The file path and function name are explicitly shown in the provided diff context.
