Most likely it is the master needs either rebuilding or replacing. If
rebuilding, you need to make sure the barrel of the cylinder is in no way
damaged.

The description matches exactly how my 91 Accord acted when it needed a new
master cylinder. It only did it when the weather was very hot (trip to the
beach) so I lived with it for over a year. It felt like the brake pedal would
slowly go away from under my foot, but I could press harder and stop the roll
forward.
