Security review
Written by gpt-4o-mini from 16 checks over the crawlThe website has several security issues that need addressing, particularly the lack of a Content Security Policy, issues with loading mixed content, and the use of a vulnerable JavaScript library. Fixing these will improve the site's security posture.
- 0 high
- 2 medium
- 1 low
- 0 info
- 1
Missing Content Security PolicyMedium
Why it matters: No Content-Security-Policy header prevents control over where scripts and resources load from.
Fix: Implement a Content-Security-Policy header, like: "Content-Security-Policy: default-src 'self';" on all HTML pages.
Evidence: Content Security Policy
- 2
Outdated jQuery LibraryMedium
Why it matters: Using jQuery 3.1.0 exposes the site to known vulnerabilities.
Fix: Upgrade jQuery to version 3.5.0 or later to mitigate risks.
Evidence: Vulnerable JavaScript libraries
- 3
Mixed Content IssuesLow
Why it matters: Resources are loaded over HTTP on secure pages, creating potential vulnerabilities.
Fix: Update image URLs to use HTTPS, e.g., change http://www.boisestate.edu/... to https://www.boisestate.edu/...
Evidence: Mixed content
What the checks found
- FoundContent Security PolicyMedium
None of the 3984 HTML pages send a Content-Security-Policy header or meta tag, so the browser has no restriction on where scripts, styles and frames may load from.

- FoundVulnerable JavaScript librariesMedium
1 library with published vulnerabilities: jQuery 3.1.0. Whether they are exploitable depends on how the site uses them, but each has a fixed release.
- jQuery 3.1.0 in https://www.boisestate.edu/online/wp-content/plugins/gravityforms/js/placeholde…: 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 8 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.)
