Practical Security Guides For Your Team
Clear, non-alarmist guidance for real web vulnerabilities so your team can prioritize fixes confidently.
Outdated HTTP Library Can Be Used to Crash Your Application
mediumYour application uses an outdated version of Axios, a popular tool for making web requests. A known flaw in this version means that a malicious server — or an unexpectedly large response — can keep sending data even after your app has told it to stop, eventually overwhelming your server and causing it to crash or become unresponsive. The fix is a straightforward library upgrade.
Outdated Lodash Library Could Allow Attackers to Disrupt Your Application
mediumYour application uses an outdated version of Lodash, a very common JavaScript helper library. This version has a flaw that could allow someone to corrupt core JavaScript functionality in your app, potentially causing it to crash or behave unexpectedly. A fix is available and is a straightforward upgrade.
Outdated JavaScript Utility Library Can Be Used to Slow Down Your App
mediumYour application uses an outdated version of a popular JavaScript helper library called Lodash. This version has a known weakness where a malicious user can send specially crafted text input that causes the server to get stuck processing it — like a tongue-twister that freezes a voice assistant. The fix is a straightforward library update.
Outdated jQuery Library Allows Malicious Tampering with Web Page Behaviour
mediumYour website uses an outdated version of jQuery (3.3.1), a popular JavaScript library. This version has a known flaw that could allow an attacker to tamper with how your web pages behave — but only if they can first get crafted data into a specific part of your site. Think of it like a faulty lock on an internal door: it's worth replacing, but someone still needs to get through the front door first.
Outdated Bootstrap Library Contains a Known Script Injection Flaw
mediumYour website uses an outdated version of Bootstrap — a popular design toolkit used by millions of websites. The version in use has a known flaw in its collapsible panel feature that could allow someone to inject malicious code into your pages if they can influence the content on your site. This is a medium-priority issue: it requires specific conditions to exploit, but it is a well-documented vulnerability with a straightforward fix.
Outdated Lodash Library Allows Attackers to Run Malicious Code on Your Server
highYour application uses an old version of Lodash (3.10.1), a popular JavaScript helper library. This version has a known security flaw that could allow an attacker with access to your system to run their own commands on your server. Upgrading to the latest version closes this gap completely.
Outdated Lodash Library Allows Application Tampering or Crash
highYour application uses an outdated version of Lodash, a very common JavaScript helper library. This version has a known flaw that could allow an attacker who can send crafted input to your app to corrupt how your application handles data internally — potentially causing it to crash or behave in unexpected ways. Exploiting this requires specific conditions, but the fix is a straightforward library update.
Outdated Lodash Library Allows Application Logic Tampering
highYour application uses a very old version of Lodash (3.10.1), a popular JavaScript utility library, that has a known security flaw. An attacker who can send crafted data to your application could manipulate how JavaScript objects behave globally — think of it like someone secretly changing the rules of the game for every player at once. Upgrading to the latest version of Lodash closes this gap immediately.
Outdated JavaScript Utility Library Allows Application Disruption (CVE-2018-16487)
highYour application is using a very old version of lodash (3.10.1), a popular JavaScript helper library, that contains a known security flaw. An attacker who can send crafted data to your application could use this flaw to disrupt your service or, in some cases, interfere with how your application behaves. The fix is a straightforward library upgrade.
Outdated JavaScript Utility Library Allows Application Behavior Tampering
mediumYour application uses an old version of a popular JavaScript helper library called Lodash (version 3.10.1) that contains a known security flaw. An attacker who can send crafted data to your app could manipulate how it processes objects internally, potentially disrupting its behavior. Upgrading to the latest version of Lodash takes a developer under an hour and fully resolves the issue.
Outdated Date Library Allows Attackers to Tamper with Server Files
highYour application uses an outdated version of Moment.js — a popular tool for handling dates and times — that contains a known security flaw. If any part of your app lets users choose a language or locale (e.g., 'English', 'French'), an attacker could craft a malicious input to access or manipulate files on your server that they shouldn't be able to touch. This only affects server-side usage, not purely browser-based code.
Outdated DataTables Library Has a Known Script Injection Flaw
mediumYour website uses an outdated version of a popular JavaScript table library called DataTables (version 1.10.19). This version has a known flaw that, under specific conditions, could allow malicious content to run in a visitor's browser. The fix is a straightforward library upgrade — no redesign or major work required.
