Website Security

Internet2

X-Powered-By header exposed

The X-Powered-By header reveals information about specific technology used on the server. This information can be used to exploit vulnerabilities. The server configuration should be changed to remove this 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.

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.

Server information header not exposed

Ensuring the server information header is not exposed reduces the ability of attackers to exploit certain vulnerabilities.

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

Internet2

DMARC policy is p=none

DMARC policy is p=none. This provides no protection against fraudulent emails. The DMARC policy should be migrated to p=quarantine, and eventually p=reject.

SPF policy uses ~all

Sender Policy Framework (SPF) record is too lenient as to which domains are allowed to send email on the domain's behalf. This record should preferably not use the ~all mechanism, as this does not instruct the mail receiver to reject messages from unauthorised sources. When DMARC is not being enforced, -all should be used on the SPF record.

DMARC policy exists

DMARC protects against fraudulent emails being sent from a domain.

SPF enabled

Sender Policy Framework (SPF) records prevent spammers from sending messages with forged addresses.

SPF syntax correct

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

SPF ptr mechanism not used

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

DNS

Internet2

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.

Domain has not expired

Domain has not expired.

No subdomain takeover vulnerability detected

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

Domain does not expire soon

Domain does not expire within 30 days.

DNSSEC enabled

DNSSEC records prevent third parties from forging the records that guarantee a domain's identity.

Encryption

Internet2

SSL not available

SSL is the standard encryption method for browsing websites. Enabling SSL requires installing an SSL certificate on the site.

Hostname does not match SSL certificate

The site's hostname does not match the SSL certificate. The domain name should be added to the certificate, either as a Subject Alternative Name or as the Common Name.

SSL expired

SSL certificate has expired. The certificate will need to be renewed for connections to your domain to be trusted.

HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) not enforced

Without HSTS enforced, people browsing this site are more susceptible to man-in-the-middle attacks. The server should be configured to support HSTS.

SSL expires in less than 20% of its total valid period

SSL certificate has less than 20% of its total valid period remaining. The certificate will need to be renewed to avoid expiry.

Weak cipher suites supported in TLS 1.2

Weak cipher suites can potentially be broken by a well resourced attacker, and should not be supported by the server unless very old devices or browsers must be supported.

Certificate not found on our revoked certificate list

The site's certificate chain was checked against our list of revoked certificates.

HTTP requests are redirected to HTTPS

All HTTP requests are redirected to HTTPS.

Trusted SSL certificate

The certificate presented by this domain was issued by a trusted certificate authority.

No insecure SSL/TLS versions available

No insecure SSL/TLS versions are available for this site.

SSL certificate chain present in server response

A complete SSL certificate chain was presented by the server for this domain.

SSL chain certificates do not expire within 20 days

SSL intermediate and root certificates do not expire within 20 days.

SSL expiration period shorter than 398 days

The SSL certificate presented by the server has an expiration period shorter than 398 days.

Strong SSL algorithm

Industry standard SHA-256 encryption in use.

Strong public certificate key length

The site's public certificate provides at least 112 bits of security strength.

Data leakage

Internet2

No listable directories found

No listable directories were found on the server.

WordPress plugin versions not exposed

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

WordPress user list not exposed

Exposing the list of users on a WordPress site (via the WP-JSON API) can assist attackers in brute forcing credentials, as well as constitute a privacy risk.

No open cloud storage service detected

No cloud storage service configured to allow anonymous file listing was detected.

Domain index is not a listable directory

The domain index is not a listable directory.
