Fixed in Apache Tomcat 8.5.86

Important: Apache Tomcat information disclosure CVE-2023-28708

When using the RemoteIpFilter with requests received from a reverse proxy via HTTP that include the X-Forwarded-Proto header set to https, session cookies created by Tomcat did not include the secure attribute. This could result in the user agent transmitting the session cookie over an insecure channel.

This was fixed with commit 5b72c94e.
