Security review
Written by gpt-4o-mini from 16 checks over the crawlThe security review of rankmath.com reveals several critical vulnerabilities, including the absence of a Content Security Policy and Clickjacking protection on many pages. Upgrading outdated JavaScript libraries is also essential for mitigating potential attacks. Please address these issues to enhance your site's security.
- 0 high
- 3 medium
- 2 low
- 1 info
- 1
Missing Content Security PolicyMedium
Why it matters: Without a Content Security Policy, your site is vulnerable to cross-site scripting and data injection attacks.
Fix: Add a Content-Security-Policy header to your HTML pages, e.g., `Content-Security-Policy: default-src 'self'`.
Evidence: Content Security Policy
- 2
Missing X-Frame-Options HeaderMedium
Why it matters: Lack of Clickjacking protection allows your pages to be embedded in frames, risking user data.
Fix: Include `X-Frame-Options: DENY` or `X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN` in your response headers.
Evidence: Clickjacking protection
- 3
Outdated jQuery LibrariesMedium
Why it matters: Using vulnerable versions poses a significant security risk for XSS and other attacks.
Fix: Upgrade jQuery to version 3.5.0 or later across your site.
Evidence: Vulnerable JavaScript libraries
- 4
Missing X-Content-Type-Options HeaderLow
Why it matters: Absence of this header increases the risk of MIME-sniffing attacks.
Fix: Set `X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff` in your response headers.
Evidence: MIME sniffing protection
- 5
Missing Referrer-Policy HeaderLow
Why it matters: Not setting a referrer policy can expose sensitive information about your site to third parties.
Fix: Add `Referrer-Policy: no-referrer` or appropriate policy in your headers.
Evidence: Referrer policy
- 6
Missing Permissions-Policy HeaderInfo
Why it matters: This header can help limit the capabilities of browser features that could be exploited by injected scripts.
Fix: Include `Permissions-Policy: geolocation=(self)` and other relevant features in your headers.
Evidence: Permissions policy
What the checks found
- FoundContent Security PolicyMedium

- FoundVulnerable JavaScript librariesMedium
2 libraries with published vulnerabilities: jQuery 2.2.0, jQuery 2.9.11. 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/cache/min/1/wp-content/themes/rm/js/jquery.coun…: 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
- jQuery 2.9.11 in https://rankmath.com/wp-content/plugins/gravityforms/js/placeholders.jquery.min…: 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 3 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.)
- cdn-4.convertexperiments.com (40 script tags)
- 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/
