Website Security

Thankyou Payroll

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.

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.

X-Content-Type-Options is not nosniff

Browsers are prevented from interpreting files as a different MIME type to what is specified in the Content-Type HTTP header. This helps mitigate MIME confusion attacks.

No unmaintained page detected

The page appears to be maintained.

Email

Thankyou Payroll

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

Thankyou Payroll

DNSSEC not enabled

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.

Encryption

Thankyou Payroll

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.

WordPress plugin versions not exposed

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

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.
