Website Security

APD

Secure cookies not used

When secure cookies are not used, there is an increased risk of third parties intercepting information contained in these cookies. The website configuration should be changed so that all 'Set-Cookie' headers include 'secure'.

Server information header exposed

Exposing information about the server version increases the ability of attackers to exploit certain vulnerabilities. The website configuration should be changed to prevent version information being revealed in the 'server' header.

X-Frame-Options is not deny or sameorigin

Browsers may display this website's content in frames. This can lead to clickjacking attacks.

CSP is not implemented

No valid Content Security Policy is implemented. This increases the risk of XSS and clickjacking attacks.

HttpOnly cookies not used

When HttpOnly cookies are not used, the cookies can be accessed on the client, which enables certain type of client-side attacks. The website configuration should be changed to enforce HttpOnly cookies.

X-Content-Type-Options is not nosniff

Browsers may interpret files as a different MIME type than what is specified in the Content-Type HTTP header. This can lead to MIME confusion attacks.

X-Powered-By header not exposed

Information about specific technology used on the server is obscured.

Referrer policy is not unsafe-url

The website's Referrer Policy is not configured to allow unsafe information to be sent in the referrer header.

ASP.NET version header not exposing specific ASP.net version

Ensuring the ASP.NET version header is not exposing a specific version makes it harder for attackers to exploit certain vulnerabilities.

ASP.NET version header not exposed

Ensuring the ASP.NET version header is not exposed makes it harder for attackers to exploit certain vulnerabilities.

No unmaintained page detected

The page appears to be maintained.

Email

APD

DMARC policy is p=quarantine

The DMARC policy should be set to p=reject for maximum protection.

DMARC policy exists

DMARC protects against fraudulent emails being sent from a domain.

Strict SPF filtering - not using +all

Sender Policy Framework (SPF) record strictly enforces specific domains allowed to send email on its behalf.

SPF syntax correct

Sender Policy Framework (SPF) record passes basic syntax checks.

DMARC policy percentage is default

DMARC policy percentage is set to default 100%, ensuring all mail is covered by the policy.

SPF ptr mechanism not used

Sender Policy Framework (SPF) record does not include the ptr mechanism.

Network

APD

No ports are open

No open ports were detected.

DNS

APD

DNSSEC not enabled

DNSSEC records prevent third parties from forging the records that guarantee a domain's identity. DNSSEC should be configured for this domain.

CAA not enabled

The domain does not contain a valid Certification Authority Authorization (CAA) record. A CAA record indicates which Certificate Authorities (CAs) are authorized to issue certificates for a domain.

No unregistered MX records detected

No unregistered MX records that could lead to receiving mail on behalf of the target organization were detected.

No subdomain takeover vulnerability detected

No dangling DNS records that could lead to subdomain takeover were detected.

Data leakage

APD

WordPress plugin versions exposed

Ensuring WordPress plugin versions are not exposed can make it harder for attackers to find exploits against your site.

No listable directories found
