Security review
Written by gpt-4o-mini from 16 checks over the crawlThe website strands.ca has several security issues that need immediate attention. Key problems include the absence of HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) and proper Cookie flags, as well as mixed content being loaded over HTTP, potentially exposing users to attacks. It's crucial to address these to enhance the site's security.
- 0 high
- 5 medium
- 3 low
- 0 info
- 1
Missing HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS)Medium
Why it matters: Lack of HSTS allows interception of user requests when accessing the site via HTTP.
Fix: Add the header: Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains
Evidence: HTTP Strict Transport Security
- 2
Missing Clickjacking ProtectionMedium
Why it matters: Without X-Frame-Options, the site can be embedded in malicious frames, risking user actions.
Fix: Add the header: X-Frame-Options: DENY
Evidence: Clickjacking protection
- 3
Cookies Lack Protective FlagsMedium
Why it matters: Cookies without Secure, HttpOnly, and SameSite flags can be accessed by malicious scripts.
Fix: Set Cookie headers as follows: Set-Cookie: PHPSESSID=your_value; Secure; HttpOnly; SameSite=Strict. Apply similar changes to 'wordpress_test_cookie'.
Evidence: Cookie flags
- 4
Mixed Content IssuesMedium
Why it matters: Loading resources over HTTP can lead to content tampering and blocks by browsers.
Fix: Ensure all resources are loaded over HTTPS instead of HTTP.
Evidence: Mixed content
- 5
Vulnerable JavaScript LibrariesMedium
Why it matters: Using jQuery 2.0.1 exposes the site to known vulnerabilities.
Fix: Upgrade jQuery to at least version 3.5.0.
Evidence: Vulnerable JavaScript libraries
- 6
Missing MIME Sniffing ProtectionLow
Why it matters: Without X-Content-Type-Options, browsers might incorrectly interpret files' content types.
Fix: Add the header: X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff
Evidence: MIME sniffing protection
- 7
Missing Referrer PolicyLow
Why it matters: The absence of a referrer policy can leak sensitive URL information when users navigate away.
Fix: Add the header: Referrer-Policy: strict-origin-when-cross-origin
Evidence: Referrer policy
- 8
Server Version DisclosureLow
Why it matters: Revealing server version helps attackers target known vulnerabilities.
Fix: Remove or modify the following headers: Server: and X-Powered-By:
Evidence: Software version disclosure

- FoundVulnerable JavaScript librariesMedium
1 library with published vulnerabilities: jQuery 2.0.1. Whether they are exploitable depends on how the site uses them, but each has a fixed release.
- jQuery 2.0.1 in https://strands.ca/wp/wp-content/plugins/booked/assets/js/spin.jquery.js?ver=2.…: 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.)
- www.googletagmanager.com (40 script tags)
- app.promotionengine.com (40 script tags)
- www.google.com (1 script tag)
- 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: /_private
5 checks passed
- OKHTTPS
