Security review
Written by gpt-4o-mini from 16 checks over the crawlYour website has multiple security issues that could expose visitors to risks, including interception of initial requests and potential cross-site scripting. Addressing these vulnerabilities is crucial to enhance user safety.
- 0 high
- 4 medium
- 3 low
- 1 info
- 1
Missing HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS)Medium
Why it matters: Without HSTS, visitors typing your address without https:// can be intercepted.
Fix: Add the header: Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains.
Evidence: HTTP Strict Transport Security
- 2
Missing Content Security Policy (CSP)Medium
Why it matters: No CSP means scripts and styles can load from any source, increasing risk of XSS.
Fix: Add the header: Content-Security-Policy: default-src 'self';
Evidence: Content Security Policy
- 3
Missing X-Frame-OptionsMedium
Why it matters: Lack of clickjacking protection allows your pages to be framed elsewhere.
Fix: Add the header: X-Frame-Options: DENY.
Evidence: Clickjacking protection
- 4
Vulnerable JavaScript LibraryMedium
Why it matters: Using jQuery 2.9.30 exposes you to several vulnerabilities.
Fix: Upgrade jQuery to version 3.5.0 or higher.
Evidence: Vulnerable JavaScript libraries
- 5
Missing X-Content-Type-OptionsLow
Why it matters: Without this protection, browsers may execute files based on their content.
Fix: Add the header: X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff.
Evidence: MIME sniffing protection
- 6
Missing Referrer PolicyLow
Why it matters: Without a referrer policy, full URLs may be leaked when users navigate away.
Fix: Add the header: Referrer-Policy: no-referrer.
Evidence: Referrer policy
- 7
Server Version DisclosureLow
Why it matters: Exposing server versions helps attackers target known vulnerabilities.
Fix: Remove or modify the 'Server' header; consider using a reverse proxy.
Evidence: Software version disclosure
- 8
Missing Permissions PolicyInfo
Why it matters: A permissions policy can limit features available to potentially harmful scripts.
Fix: Add the header: Permissions-Policy: geolocation=(self).
Evidence: Permissions policy

- FoundSoftware version disclosureLow
Responses reveal the exact server or framework version, which lets an attacker look up known vulnerabilities for it without guessing.
- server: cloudflare (1324 responses)
- x-powered-by: WP Rocket/3.21.0.1 (1 response)
- FoundVulnerable JavaScript librariesMedium
1 library with published vulnerabilities: jQuery 2.9.30. Whether they are exploitable depends on how the site uses them, but each has a fixed release.
- jQuery 2.9.30 in https://www.dentalchoice.ca/wp-content/plugins/gravityforms/js/placeholders.jqu…: 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 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.)
- pfx.leadmanagerfx.com (40 script tags)
- cdn.callrail.com (40 script tags)
- unpkg.com (40 script tags)
- code.jquery.com (41 script tags)
- cdn.jsdelivr.net (44 script tags)
- www.google.com (40 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/
5 checks passed, 1 not applicable
