Security Scan Technical Report

This report is designed to be parsed by AI coding assistants. Copy this entire report and paste it to your AI agent with: "Fix these security issues"

Target: https://www.indietools.app Scanned: 2026-02-02T06:11:21.581Z Grade: C (60/100)

PHASE 1: Internal Security Scan

Security Headers

[MEDIUM] Missing Content-Security-Policy header

  • ID: missing-content-security-policy
  • Category: Security Headers
  • Description: CSP prevents XSS attacks by controlling which resources can be loaded
  • Fix: Add header: Content-Security-Policy: default-src 'self'; script-src 'self'; style-src 'self' 'unsafe-inline'

[MEDIUM] Missing X-Frame-Options header

  • ID: missing-x-frame-options
  • Category: Security Headers
  • Description: Prevents clickjacking by controlling if the site can be embedded in iframes
  • Fix: Add header: X-Frame-Options: DENY (or SAMEORIGIN if you need iframes)

[MEDIUM] Missing X-Content-Type-Options header

  • ID: missing-x-content-type-options
  • Category: Security Headers
  • Description: Prevents MIME-type sniffing attacks
  • Fix: Add header: X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff

[LOW] Missing Referrer-Policy header

  • ID: missing-referrer-policy
  • Category: Security Headers
  • Description: Controls how much referrer information is sent with requests
  • Fix: Add header: Referrer-Policy: strict-origin-when-cross-origin

[LOW] Missing Permissions-Policy header

  • ID: missing-permissions-policy
  • Category: Security Headers
  • Description: Controls which browser features the site can use
  • Fix: Add header: Permissions-Policy: geolocation=(), microphone=(), camera=()

[LOW] Missing X-XSS-Protection header

  • ID: missing-x-xss-protection
  • Category: Security Headers
  • Description: Legacy XSS filter (deprecated but still useful for older browsers)
  • Fix: Add header: X-XSS-Protection: 1; mode=block

Server Information

[MEDIUM] X-Powered-By header exposes technology stack

  • ID: server-x-powered-by
  • Category: Information Disclosure
  • Description: Server reveals: Next.js. This helps attackers target known vulnerabilities.
  • Fix: Remove X-Powered-By header. In PHP: Header("X-Powered-By: "); In Express: app.disable("x-powered-by")

Email Security (DNS)

[LOW] No SPF record found

  • ID: dns-no-spf
  • Category: Email Security
  • Description: Without SPF, anyone can send emails pretending to be from your domain. This is like having no caller ID on your phone. (Your domain has no MX records, so this is lower priority.)
  • Fix: Add a TXT record to your DNS: v=spf1 include:_spf.google.com ~all (adjust based on your email provider)

[LOW] No DMARC record found

  • ID: dns-no-dmarc
  • Category: Email Security
  • Description: DMARC tells email servers what to do when SPF/DKIM checks fail. Without it, spoofed emails may still be delivered. (Your domain has no MX records, so this is lower priority.)
  • Fix: Add a TXT record for _dmarc.www.indietools.app: v=DMARC1; p=quarantine; rua=mailto:[email protected]

Robots.txt Analysis

[LOW] robots.txt reveals potentially sensitive paths

  • ID: robots-sensitive-paths
  • Category: Information Disclosure
  • Description: Found 1 potentially sensitive paths: /dashboard/
  • Fix: While hiding paths in robots.txt is not a security measure, be aware that this reveals your directory structure to attackers. Ensure these paths are properly secured.

PHASE 2: External Tool Validation

Mozilla Observatory

Additional Manual Checks

These tools require manual verification:

Cross-Reference Analysis

Confidence: medium

Our scan found issues that external tools did not flag (they may check different things).

Issues found by our scan:

  • Missing Content-Security-Policy header
  • Missing X-Frame-Options header
  • Missing X-Content-Type-Options header
  • X-Powered-By header exposes technology stack

Detected Technology Stack

  • Vercel (hosting)
  • Next.js (framework)
  • WordPress (cms)
  • Webflow (cms)
  • Ghost (cms)

Recommended Fix Order

Address issues in this order:

  1. CRITICAL - Fix immediately (security breach risk)
  2. HIGH - Fix soon (significant vulnerability)
  3. MEDIUM - Fix when possible (best practice)
  4. LOW - Nice to have (hardening)

Not Checked (Manual Review Needed)

This scanner cannot test the following. Consider reviewing manually:

  • Rate Limiting - Does your login/API have limits to prevent brute force attacks?
  • Input Sanitization - Are user inputs cleaned before display? (prevents XSS attacks)
  • Business Logic on Backend - Are sensitive operations (auth, payments, validation) on the server, not in client-side JS?
  • SQL Injection - If you use a database, are queries parameterized?
  • Authentication Flow - Are sessions/tokens handled securely?

Tip: Ask your AI agent to audit these areas in your codebase.

AI Agent Instructions

To fix these issues:

  1. Start with CRITICAL and HIGH severity issues
  2. For each issue, implement the fix described
  3. Test the fix locally before deploying
  4. After deploying, the user should re-scan to verify

Quick Wins

Smaller improvements you can make:

  • Missing Content-Security-Policy header: Add header: Content-Security-Policy: default-src 'self'; script-src 'self'; style-src 'self' 'unsafe-inline'.
  • Missing X-Frame-Options header: Add header: X-Frame-Options: DENY (or SAMEORIGIN if you need iframes).
  • Missing X-Content-Type-Options header: Add header: X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff.

What This Scan Covers

Checked:

  • Security headers (CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, etc.)
  • SSL/TLS configuration
  • Exposed API keys in JavaScript
  • Email security (SPF/DMARC)
  • Exposed sensitive files (.env, .git, etc.)
  • CORS configuration
  • Cookie security

Partially Checked (may need manual review):

  • Client-side permission patterns (we scan for isPro, isAdmin, etc. but can't verify server enforcement)

Not Checked (ask your AI agent to review):

  • Rate limiting on login/API endpoints
  • Input sanitization (XSS prevention)
  • SQL injection vulnerabilities
  • Authentication/session handling

What To Do Next

  1. Share the Technical Report (below) with your AI coding assistant
  2. Ask it to implement the fixes
  3. Ask it to audit the "Not Checked" items above
  4. Re-scan after deploying to verify the fixes worked
