Outdated Bootstrap Library Contains Script Injection Weakness

medium

Your website uses an old version of Bootstrap (a popular design toolkit), which has a known weakness that could allow a malicious script to run in a visitor's browser under specific conditions. This requires an attacker to already be able to influence how your site's Bootstrap components are configured — it's not a direct, open door, but it is a gap worth closing. Upgrading Bootstrap to the patched version resolves it completely.

Axios Library May Leak Proxy Credentials During Web Requests

medium

Your application uses a JavaScript library called Axios to make web requests. A flaw in one of its supporting components means that if your app routes traffic through an authenticated proxy server, those proxy login credentials could be accidentally sent to the wrong destination when a redirect occurs. This only affects you if your app uses proxy authentication — if it doesn't, you're not at risk.
