Security review
Written by gpt-4o-mini from 16 checks over the crawlThe 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
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
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
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
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

- 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.)
