Security review

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

The website has several security issues including missing referrer and permissions policies, cookie flags lacking security measures, and an exposed Google API key. Implementing recommended headers and securing keys will enhance safety against potential threats.

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

    Cookies Lacking Protective FlagsMedium

    Why it matters: Missing Secure, HttpOnly, and SameSite flags could expose cookie data to attacks.

    Fix: Set 'Secure', 'HttpOnly', and 'SameSite=Lax' for the PHPSESSID cookie.

    Evidence: Cookie flags

  2. 2

    Exposed Google API KeyMedium

    Why it matters: This key can be misused without proper restrictions.

    Fix: Restrict the API key in the Google Cloud console by HTTP referrer.

    Evidence: Keys and secrets in page code

  3. 3

    Missing Referrer PolicyLow

    Why it matters: Without this policy, sensitive URL data can be leaked to other sites.

    Fix: Add 'Referrer-Policy: no-referrer' to HTTP headers.

    Evidence: Referrer policy

  4. 4

    Missing Permissions PolicyInfo

    Why it matters: Without this policy, unnecessary browser features remain enabled.

    Fix: Add 'Permissions-Policy: interest-cohort=()' to HTTP headers.

    Evidence: Permissions policy

What the checks found

  • FoundReferrer policyLow

    No HTML page sends referrer-policy. Without a Referrer-Policy the full page address, including any query string, is sent to every site a visitor clicks through to.

    • https://www.screamingfrog.co.uk/copywriting/ → no referrer-policy
  • FoundPermissions policyInfo

    No HTML page sends permissions-policy. A Permissions-Policy header turns off browser features the site does not use (camera, microphone, geolocation), limiting what an injected script could do.

    • https://www.screamingfrog.co.uk/copywriting/ → no permissions-policy
  • FoundCookie flagsMedium

    1 of 2 cookies are missing protective flags. Without HttpOnly a script can read the cookie; without Secure it travels over plain HTTP; without SameSite it is sent on cross-site requests.

    • PHPSESSID (set by https://www.screamingfrog.co.uk/login/) lacks Secure, HttpOnly, SameSite
  • FoundKeys and secrets in page codeMedium

    1 credential-like value found in code served to every visitor: Google API key.

    • Google API key AIzaSy…Sc (39 chars) in https://www.screamingfrog.co.uk/wp-content/themes/screamingfrog/public/js/sf-bu…: browser keys are expected in pages, but must be restricted by HTTP referrer and API in the Google Cloud console
  • 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.)

    • html5shiv.googlecode.com (40 script tags)
    • www.google.com (40 script tags)
    • eocampaign1.com (12 script tags)
11 checks passed
  • OKHTTPS

    All 943 crawled pages were served over HTTPS.

  • OKHTTP Strict Transport Security

    strict-transport-security is set on all 943 HTML pages.

  • OKContent Security Policy

    A Content-Security-Policy is set.

  • OKClickjacking protection

    x-frame-options is set on all 943 HTML pages.

  • OKMIME sniffing protection

    x-content-type-options is set on all 943 HTML pages.

  • OKSoftware version disclosure

    The Server header names a product without a version, and there is no X-Powered-By header.

  • OKMixed content

    No HTTPS page loads a script, stylesheet, font or image over plain HTTP.

  • OKForms over HTTPS

    74 forms found, all on HTTPS pages posting to HTTPS addresses.

  • OKVulnerable JavaScript libraries

    1 library version recognised, none with known vulnerabilities.

  • OKExposed files and listings

    None of the crawled URLs is a configuration file, backup, dump, repository folder or directory listing.

  • OKSensitive paths in robots.txt

    robots.txt does not point at admin, backup or private paths.
