Security review

Written by gpt-4o-mini from 16 checks over the crawl

The website has several critical security issues, including missing HTTP Strict Transport Security and X-Frame-Options headers, which expose users to potential attacks. It's important to implement recommended safeguards to protect visitors.

  • 0 high
  • 3 medium
  • 2 low
  • 1 info
  1. 1

    Missing HTTP Strict Transport SecurityMedium

    Why it matters: Lack of HSTS can lead to interception of initial requests without HTTPS.

    Fix: Consider adding the header: Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains.

    Evidence: HTTP Strict Transport Security

  2. 2

    Missing X-Frame-Options HeaderMedium

    Why it matters: Absence of this header can allow clickjacking attacks by embedding pages in unauthorized frames.

    Fix: Add the header: X-Frame-Options: DENY or use Content-Security-Policy with frame-ancestors.

    Evidence: Clickjacking protection

  3. 3

    Insecure Cookie FlagsMedium

    Why it matters: Cookies lacking HttpOnly and Secure flags are vulnerable to theft and man-in-the-middle attacks.

    Fix: Set cookies with HttpOnly, Secure, and SameSite attributes.

    Evidence: Cookie flags

  4. 4

    Missing X-Content-Type-Options HeaderLow

    Why it matters: Without this header, browsers may improperly execute files based on content.

    Fix: Add the header: X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff.

    Evidence: MIME sniffing protection

  5. 5

    Mixed Content IssuesLow

    Why it matters: Loading resources over HTTP on HTTPS pages exposes users to eavesdropping.

    Fix: Ensure all resources are served over HTTPS.

    Evidence: Mixed content

  6. 6

    Permissions-Policy Not SetInfo

    Why it matters: Without this header, browser features unnecessary for the site may be enabled, increasing risk.

    Fix: Consider setting: Permissions-Policy: geolocation=(), microphone=(), camera=().

    Evidence: Permissions policy
