Security review

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

The website lacks essential security headers and uses outdated libraries, exposing it to potential attacks. Implementing strict transport security, Content Security Policy, and other protections will enhance security. Additionally, upgrading libraries is crucial to mitigate vulnerabilities.

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

    Missing HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS)Medium

    Why it matters: Without HSTS, visitors can be intercepted on their first request if they type the site address without HTTPS.

    Fix: Add the header `Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=63072000; includeSubDomains; preload` to all HTML pages.

    Evidence: HTTP Strict Transport Security

  2. 2

    Lack of Content Security Policy (CSP)Medium

    Why it matters: Without CSP, script and style sources are not restricted, increasing the risk of XSS attacks.

    Fix: Implement a CSP by adding the header `Content-Security-Policy: default-src 'self';` to all HTML pages.

    Evidence: Content Security Policy

  3. 3

    Missing X-Frame-Options HeaderMedium

    Why it matters: Pages can be embedded in a frame on malicious sites, making users vulnerable to clickjacking.

    Fix: Add the header `X-Frame-Options: DENY` to all HTML pages.

    Evidence: Clickjacking protection

  4. 4

    Outdated jQuery LibraryMedium

    Why it matters: Using jQuery 2.9.30 which has known vulnerabilities could lead to exploitable security issues.

    Fix: Upgrade jQuery to version 3.5.0 or later.

    Evidence: Vulnerable JavaScript libraries

  5. 5

    Missing X-Content-Type-Options HeaderLow

    Why it matters: Without this header, browsers might misinterpret files and execute them incorrectly.

    Fix: Add the header `X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff` to all HTML pages.

    Evidence: MIME sniffing protection

  6. 6

    Missing Referrer-Policy HeaderLow

    Why it matters: Without defined referrer policy, sensitive URL details can be shared with third parties when users navigate away.

    Fix: Add the header `Referrer-Policy: no-referrer` to all HTML pages.

    Evidence: Referrer policy

  7. 7

    Server Banner DisclosureLow

    Why it matters: Server responses reveal version details, allowing attackers to target known vulnerabilities in those versions.

    Fix: Remove the `X-Powered-By` header or configure it to not disclose version information.

    Evidence: Software version disclosure

  8. 8

    Missing Permissions-Policy HeaderInfo

    Why it matters: Not using a Permissions-Policy could allow injected scripts to access sensitive browser features.

    Fix: Add the header `Permissions-Policy: geolocation=(self)` to all HTML pages.

    Evidence: Permissions policy

  • NoteThird-party scripts

    Scripts run from 6 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.)
