Security review
Written by gpt-4o-mini from 16 checks over the crawlThe website has significant security vulnerabilities, including serving many pages over unencrypted HTTP, which exposes users to risks. Additional findings include missing security headers and an outdated JavaScript library with known vulnerabilities. Prompt fixes are essential to safeguard user data and improve overall security.
- 1 high
- 2 medium
- 2 low
- 1 info
- 1
Insecure HTTP PagesHigh
Why it matters: 1337 pages respond over HTTP, exposing content to interception or tampering.
Fix: Redirect all traffic to HTTPS using a server-side redirection (e.g., in .htaccess or server config) to secure all pages.
Evidence: HTTPS
- 2
Missing SameSite Attribute in CookiesMedium
Why it matters: One cookie is missing the SameSite flag, increasing the risk of CSRF attacks.
Fix: Set the SameSite attribute for the 'wordpress_test_cookie' to 'Strict' or 'Lax'.
Evidence: Cookie flags
- 3
Outdated jQuery LibraryMedium
Why it matters: jQuery version 1.7.2 has multiple known vulnerabilities that may be exploitable depending on usage.
Fix: Upgrade jQuery to a fixed version (e.g., 3.5.0 or later) to mitigate known risks.
Evidence: Vulnerable JavaScript libraries
- 4
No Referrer-Policy SetLow
Why it matters: 743 pages lack a Referrer-Policy, exposing full URL data to third-party sites.
Fix: Add a Referrer-Policy header, such as 'no-referrer', to reduce exposure of sensitive URL parameters.
Evidence: Referrer policy
- 5
Server Version DisclosureLow
Why it matters: Server responses disclose exact version information, aiding attackers in targeting vulnerabilities.
Fix: Remove 'X-Powered-By' and limit server headers to minimize information leakage.
Evidence: Software version disclosure
- 6
No Permissions-Policy SetInfo
Why it matters: Lack of a Permissions-Policy allows unrestricted browser features, which could be exploited by malicious scripts.
Fix: Include a Permissions-Policy header to control access to features like geolocation, e.g., 'Permissions-Policy: geolocation=()'.
Evidence: Permissions policy

- FoundVulnerable JavaScript librariesMedium
