Comment (by andyhirdjt):
Hi there. Similar to previous comments our wordpress based website have
had pentests run against them and the testers have raised issues around WP
cookie security.
Looking at one of our websites they recommend that the HttpOnly flag is
set for the wordpress_test_cookie and other WP cookies where possible.
Additionally the SameSite=Strict should be set on that and admin related
cookies.
Thanks!
