Security review

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

The website has significant security concerns, including missing headers that protect against clickjacking and MIME sniffing. An AWS access key was found publicly accessible, which poses a high risk. Several pages lack proper security policies that could mitigate risks from third-party scripts.

  • 1 high
  • 1 medium
  • 2 low
  • 1 info
  1. 1

    Leaked AWS Access KeyHigh

    Why it matters: An exposed AWS access key could allow unauthorized access to AWS services.

    Fix: Rotate the leaked access key in IAM immediately to prevent unauthorized usage.

    Evidence: Keys and secrets in page code

  2. 2

    Missing X-Frame-Options HeaderMedium

    Why it matters: Pages can be embedded in frames, leading to clickjacking attacks.

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

    Evidence: Clickjacking protection

  3. 3

    Missing X-Content-Type-Options HeaderLow

    Why it matters: Without this header, some files may be executed as scripts regardless of their declared type.

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

    Evidence: MIME sniffing protection

  4. 4

    Missing Referrer-Policy HeaderLow

    Why it matters: Full URL including query strings can be sent to other sites, potentially leaking sensitive information.

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

    Evidence: Referrer policy

  5. 5

    Missing Permissions-Policy HeaderInfo

    Why it matters: Lack of this policy exposes unused browser features, increasing potential attack surface.

    Fix: Add the header: Permissions-Policy: interest-cohort=() to affected pages.

    Evidence: Permissions policy

What the checks found

  • FoundClickjacking protectionMedium

    4371 of 4739 HTML pages send x-frame-options. Without X-Frame-Options (or a CSP frame-ancestors directive) the pages can be embedded in a frame on another site and overlaid with invisible controls.
