Session cookie with secure: false

mediumCode regexinsecure-cookieCWE-614js

What it detects

secure: false sends the cookie over plain HTTP, making it interceptable on any shared network. Production session cookies must be `secure: true` so they ride only over TLS.

How it runs

Applied line-by-line via a tagged regex with language-specific gating. Comments are skipped. Designed for high-confidence patterns where AST parsing would be overkill.
