Security review
Written by gpt-4o-mini from 16 checks over the crawlThe website has several security issues, particularly around response headers and cookie settings, which could expose users to risks like interception and clickjacking. Key mitigations like HTTP Strict Transport Security and protective cookie flags are not implemented. Addressing these vulnerabilities can enhance site security significantly.
- 0 high
- 4 medium
- 3 low
- 1 info
- 1
Missing HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS)Medium
Why it matters: Without HSTS, attackers can intercept initial requests to the site.
Fix: Add the header 'Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload'.
Evidence: HTTP Strict Transport Security
- 2
Missing Clickjacking ProtectionMedium
Why it matters: Pages can be embedded in frames, allowing clickjacking attacks.
Fix: Add the header 'X-Frame-Options: DENY' or implement a CSP with 'frame-ancestors'.
Evidence: Clickjacking protection
- 3
Insecure Cookie FlagsMedium
Why it matters: Cookies without HttpOnly, Secure, and SameSite flags are vulnerable.
Fix: Set cookies with 'HttpOnly', 'Secure', and 'SameSite=Lax' attributes.
Evidence: Cookie flags
- 4
Exposed Google API KeyMedium
Why it matters: An exposed API key can allow unauthorized use and quota breaches.
Fix: Restrict the key usage in the Google Cloud console by HTTP referrer.
Evidence: Keys and secrets in page code
- 5
Missing MIME Sniffing ProtectionLow
Why it matters: Without MIME sniffing protection, browsers can execute malicious scripts.
Fix: Add the header 'X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff'.
Evidence: MIME sniffing protection
- 6
Missing Referrer PolicyLow
Why it matters: Visitors' full URLs may be exposed to third-party sites.
Fix: Add the header 'Referrer-Policy: no-referrer'.
Evidence: Referrer policy
- 7
Mixed Content IssuesLow
Why it matters: Loading resources over HTTP can make users susceptible to man-in-the-middle attacks.
Fix: Ensure all resources are served over HTTPS.
Evidence: Mixed content
- 8
Missing Permissions PolicyInfo
Why it matters: Lack of this policy increases risks from injected scripts.
Fix: Add the header 'Permissions-Policy: geolocation=(), microphone=(), camera=()'.
Evidence: Permissions policy

- FoundKeys and secrets in page codeMedium

- Google API key AIzaSy…o0 (39 chars) in https://www.dentistdirectorycanada.ca/: browser keys are expected in pages, but must be restricted by HTTP referrer and API in the Google Cloud console
- NoteThird-party scripts
Scripts run from 5 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.)
- maps.google.com (40 script tags)
- www.googletagmanager.com (40 script tags)

- pagead2.googlesyndication.com (39 script tags)
- hk335.infusionsoft.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.
