78/ 100Good

On November 1, 2026 the Site Spider crawled 4864 pages and 1135 assets of www.boisestate.edu, starting from https://www.boisestate.edu/. It scored 78 out of 100, a good result. 12 of 33 checks found something to fix, led by heavy assets (23), sitemap coverage (3,721), meta descriptions (2,466); 7 checks passed. Most of the points went to heavy assets (−6), sitemap coverage (−5.8), meta descriptions (−5.1). 14 checks found something the score does not count, listed as noted. 4 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

The website has several important security issues, including the absence of a Content Security Policy and protective cookie flags. Updating vulnerable JavaScript libraries and addressing mixed content are also necessary. Immediate attention to these findings will enhance site security.

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

    Missing Content Security PolicyMedium

    Why it matters: Without a CSP, the site is vulnerable to XSS and other attacks.

    Fix: Implement a Content Security Policy by adding a header: `Content-Security-Policy: default-src 'self';`.

    Evidence: Content Security Policy

  2. 2

    Missing Cookie FlagsMedium

    Why it matters: Cookies lack HttpOnly and Secure flags, exposing them to attacks.

    Fix: Set cookies with HttpOnly, Secure and SameSite=Strict or Lax attributes.

    Evidence: Cookie flags

  3. 3

    Outdated jQuery LibrariesMedium

    Why it matters: Using old jQuery versions exposes the site to known vulnerabilities.

    Fix: Upgrade to jQuery version 3.5.0 or higher.

    Evidence: Vulnerable JavaScript libraries

  4. 4

    Mixed Content IssuesLow

    Why it matters: Loading resources over HTTP can undermine security and user privacy.

    Fix: Update the URLs of the affected resources to HTTPS.

    Evidence: Mixed content

  5. 5

    Absence of Subresource Integrity for Third-party ScriptsLow

    Why it matters: Without SRI, the inclusion of third-party scripts poses a security risk.

    Fix: Implement Subresource Integrity on hosted third-party scripts where possible.

    Evidence: Third-party scripts

What the checks found

  • FoundContent Security PolicyMedium

    None of the 3835 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.

    • https://www.boisestate.edu/news/ → no content-security-policy
  • FoundCookie flagsMedium

    2 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.

    • AWSALBTG (set by http://boisestate.edu/president/one-boise-state) lacks HttpOnly, SameSite
    • AWSALBTGCORS (set by http://boisestate.edu/president/one-boise-state) lacks HttpOnly
  • FoundMixed contentLow

    5 resources on HTTPS pages are loaded over plain HTTP.

  • FoundVulnerable JavaScript librariesMedium

    2 libraries with published vulnerabilities: jQuery 2.08.10, jQuery 3.2.1. Whether they are exploitable depends on how the site uses them, but each has a fixed release.

    • jQuery 2.08.10 in https://www.boisestate.edu/wp-content/themes/core/js/vendor/jquery.min.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
    • jQuery 3.2.1 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 7 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.)
