Security review

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

The website has several security issues that need to be addressed to enhance user privacy and application safety. Key problems include missing security headers and exposed API keys. Immediate action is recommended to implement security best practices.

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

    Cookie Flags MissingMedium

    Why it matters: Cookies without Secure, HttpOnly, and SameSite attributes can be vulnerable to theft and cross-site attacks.

    Fix: Set the cookie flags: Set-Cookie: PHPSESSID=...; Secure; HttpOnly; SameSite=Lax.

    Evidence: Cookie flags

  2. 2

    Exposed Google API KeyMedium

    Why it matters: An API key exposed in code can be misused, potentially leading to service abuse or unexpected charges.

    Fix: Restrict the API key usage in the Google Cloud console to specific HTTP referrers.

    Evidence: Keys and secrets in page code

  3. 3

    Missing Referrer PolicyLow

    Why it matters: Without a referrer policy, sensitive page data can be exposed to third-party sites that users navigate to.

    Fix: Add the header: Referrer-Policy: no-referrer.

    Evidence: Referrer policy

  4. 4

    Third-Party Scripts Lack Subresource IntegrityLow

    Why it matters: Running scripts from unverified sources can lead to security risks if those sources are compromised.

    Fix: Consider implementing Subresource Integrity or a strong Content-Security-Policy for third-party scripts.

    Evidence: Third-party scripts

  5. 5

    Missing Permissions PolicyInfo

    Why it matters: Without a permissions policy, unnecessary browser features may remain enabled and could be exploited by malicious scripts.

    Fix: Add the header: Permissions-Policy: none.

    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.

  • 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.

  • 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.)

  • 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.
