It scored 62 out of 100, a result that needs work. 12 of 27 checks found something to fix, led by broken links (129), meta descriptions (226), title tags (177); 6 checks passed. Most of the points went to broken links (−8.7), meta descriptions (−6.1), title tags (−6). 9 checks found something the score does not count, listed as noted. 10 checks were not run because the crawl fetched nothing for them. The list below shows each check's result, the fix plan, when present, explains what to do first, and the security review at the end of the page covers headers, transport, libraries and exposed files.

Security review

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

Your website has several security issues that need attention, including missing protective headers and outdated JavaScript libraries. These issues could expose your visitors to attacks. Prioritizing these fixes will help improve your site's security.

0 high
4 medium
2 low
0 info

1
Missing HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS)Medium
Why it matters: Without HSTS, visitors can be intercepted on their first request using HTTP.
Fix: Implement the header: Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains
Evidence: HTTP Strict Transport Security
2
Missing Content Security Policy (CSP)Medium
Why it matters: Without CSP, browsers can load scripts from anywhere, increasing risk of XSS attacks.
Fix: Implement the header: Content-Security-Policy: default-src 'self'
Evidence: Content Security Policy
3
Missing X-Frame-Options HeaderMedium
Why it matters: This allows your site to be embedded in frames, increasing clickjacking risks.
Fix: Add the header: X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN
Evidence: Clickjacking protection
4
Outdated jQuery LibrariesMedium
Why it matters: Using outdated jQuery versions increases vulnerability to multiple types of attacks.
Fix: Upgrade to jQuery 3.5.0 or later.
Evidence: Vulnerable JavaScript libraries
5
Missing X-Content-Type-Options HeaderLow
Why it matters: Without this header, browsers may incorrectly process file types, risking security.
Fix: Add the header: X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff
Evidence: MIME sniffing protection
6
Server Version DisclosureLow
Why it matters: Revealing server/technology version can assist attackers in exploiting known vulnerabilities.
Fix: Configure your server to hide version information.
Evidence: Software version disclosure

FoundSoftware version disclosureLow
Responses reveal the exact server or framework version, which lets an attacker look up known vulnerabilities for it without guessing.
- server: nginx (778 responses)
- server: awselb/2.0 (150 responses)
FoundVulnerable JavaScript librariesMedium
2 libraries with published vulnerabilities: jQuery 1.12.4, jQuery 2.6.3. Whether they are exploitable depends on how the site uses them, but each has a fixed release.
- jQuery 1.12.4 in https://spokane.wsu.edu/news/wp-content/plugins/wsuwp-plugin-jquery-migrate-cus…: 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 2.6.3 in https://spokane.wsu.edu/wp-content/plugins/gravityforms/js/placeholders.jquery.…: 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.web.wsu.edu (84 script tags)
- kit.fontawesome.com (40 script tags)
- player.vimeo.com (30 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/
