Symfony added support for SameSite cookie attributes in Symfony 3.2 (November 2016). The SameSite attribute prevents the browser from sending cookies along with cross-site requests. In practice, this mitigates the risk of cross-origin information leakage and provides some protection against CSRF attacks.

In Symfony 4.2 we've made it easier to set this attribute in several parts of the framework.

in #27976. The Remember Me feature now defines a new config option called samesite to set the value of this attribute in the cookie used by this feature: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 # config/packages/security.yaml security : # ... firewalls : main : # ... remember_me : # ... # possible values: 'strict', 'lax' and null samesite : 'strict'
