Security review

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

The scan of your website revealed several important security issues that could expose users and data to risks. Key vulnerabilities include a lack of Content Security Policy and protections against clickjacking, which may allow malicious activities. Additionally, using an outdated version of jQuery poses potential security threats. Immediate action is recommended to enhance site security.

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

    Missing Content Security PolicyMedium

    Why it matters: Without a CSP, there are no restrictions on where the site may load content from, exposing it to attacks.

    Fix: Implement a Content Security Policy header with a safe default. Use: Content-Security-Policy: default-src 'self';

    Evidence: Content Security Policy

  2. 2

    Missing Clickjacking ProtectionMedium

    Why it matters: Pages can be embedded in frames on other sites, potentially allowing clickjacking attacks.

    Fix: Add X-Frame-Options: DENY header to prevent framing of your content.

    Evidence: Clickjacking protection

  3. 3

    Using Vulnerable jQuery VersionMedium

    Why it matters: jQuery 2.2.0 has several known vulnerabilities, which could be exploited based on the site's usage.

    Fix: Upgrade jQuery to version 3.5.0 or later to eliminate these vulnerabilities.

    Evidence: Vulnerable JavaScript libraries

  4. 4

    Missing MIME Sniffing ProtectionLow

    Why it matters: Without this protection, browsers might execute files incorrectly based on their contents.

    Fix: Add X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff header to enforce content types.

    Evidence: MIME sniffing protection

  5. 5

    Missing Referrer PolicyLow

    Why it matters: Lack of a policy exposes full page addresses in referrer headers, risking sensitive information leakage.

    Fix: Set a referrer policy header: Referrer-Policy: no-referrer-when-downgrade.

    Evidence: Referrer policy

  6. 6

    Missing Permissions PolicyInfo

    Why it matters: Without this, the site may allow unnecessary access to browser features that could be exploited.

    Fix: Add a Permissions-Policy header to disable unused features, e.g., Permissions-Policy: camera=(), microphone=().

    Evidence: Permissions policy

What the checks found

  • FoundContent Security PolicyMedium

    None of the 4282 HTML pages send a Content-Security-Policy header or meta tag, so the browser has no restriction on where scripts, styles and frames may load from.

  • FoundVulnerable JavaScript librariesMedium

    1 library with published vulnerabilities: jQuery 2.2.0. Whether they are exploitable depends on how the site uses them, but each has a fixed release.

    • jQuery 2.2.0 in https://rankmath.com/wp-content/themes/rm/js/jquery.countdown.js?ver=0.213: CVE-2015-9251 (XSS via cross-domain AJAX), CVE-2019-11358 (prototype pollution), CVE-2020-11022, CVE-2020-11023 (XSS via HTML passed to DOM methods); fixed in 3.5.0
  • NoteThird-party scripts

    Scripts run from 2 other domains without Subresource Integrity, so a compromise of any of them changes what runs on this site. (Tag managers and analytics rarely support SRI; a Content-Security-Policy that names these hosts is the usual control.)

    • app.termly.io (40 script tags)
    • www.google.com (3 script tags)
  • NoteSensitive paths in robots.txt

    robots.txt lists 1 path that look private. robots.txt is public and does not restrict access, so it doubles as a map for anyone probing the site; those paths need real access control.

    • Disallow: /wp-admin/
