Security review
Written by gpt-4o-mini from 16 checks over the crawlThe website has several security weaknesses, including missing anti-clickjacking measures, referrer policies, cookie flags, and a vulnerable JavaScript library version. Addressing these issues will enhance the site's security posture.
- 0 high
- 3 medium
- 2 low
- 1 info
- 1
Missing X-Frame-Options HeaderMedium
Why it matters: Without X-Frame-Options, the site is vulnerable to clickjacking attacks.
Fix: Add the header: X-Frame-Options: DENY or use CSP frame-ancestors directive.
Evidence: Clickjacking protection
- 2
Missing HttpOnly, Secure, and SameSite Flags for CookiesMedium
Why it matters: Cookies without protective flags can be accessed by scripts and may be sent over insecure connections.
Fix: Set the cookie to include: HttpOnly, Secure, SameSite=Lax.
Evidence: Cookie flags
- 3
Vulnerable JavaScript Library DetectedMedium
Why it matters: jQuery 2.10.5 has known vulnerabilities that could be exploited.
Fix: Upgrade jQuery to version 3.5.0 or above.
Evidence: Vulnerable JavaScript libraries
- 4
Missing Referrer-Policy HeaderLow
Why it matters: Absence of a Referrer-Policy exposes full URLs, including query strings, on external sites.
Fix: Add the header: Referrer-Policy: no-referrer-when-downgrade or similar.
Evidence: Referrer policy
- 5
Mixed Content IssuesLow
Why it matters: Loading resources over HTTP on an HTTPS page can compromise security.
Fix: Change HTTP URLs to HTTPS for resources.
Evidence: Mixed content
- 6
Missing Permissions-Policy HeaderInfo
Why it matters: The absence of this header allows access to browser features that may not be needed.
Fix: Add the header: Permissions-Policy: geolocation=(self), microphone=(), camera=().
Evidence: Permissions policy

- https://www.mhs.ca/ → no permissions-policy
- https://www.mhs.ca/contact/ → no permissions-policy
- https://www.mhs.ca/product-category/membership/ → no permissions-policy

- https://www.mhs.ca/awards/ → no permissions-policy
- https://www.mhs.ca/get-involved/ → no permissions-policy
- FoundCookie flagsMedium
1 of 1 cookie 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.
- wordpress_test_cookie (set by https://www.mhs.ca/wp-login.php) lacks SameSite
- FoundMixed contentLow
2 resources on HTTPS pages are loaded over plain HTTP.

- FoundVulnerable JavaScript librariesMedium
1 library with published vulnerabilities: jQuery 2.10.5. Whether they are exploitable depends on how the site uses them, but each has a fixed release.
- jQuery 2.10.5 in https://www.mhs.ca/wp-content/plugins/gravityforms/js/placeholders.jquery.min.j…: 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 2 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.)
- www.googletagmanager.com (40 script tags)
- www.google.com (41 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/
