Practical Security Guides For Your Team
Clear, non-alarmist guidance for real web vulnerabilities so your team can prioritize fixes confidently.
Outdated HTML Sanitizer Can Be Tricked Into Allowing Malicious Scripts
highYour website uses a popular library called DOMPurify to clean up user-submitted content before displaying it — think of it like a filter that removes dangerous code from text people type in. A flaw in older versions of this library means that, under specific conditions, that filter can be bypassed, allowing harmful scripts to slip through and run in your visitors' browsers. The fix is a straightforward library update.
Outdated Bootstrap Library Contains a Known Script Injection Flaw
mediumYour website uses an outdated version of Bootstrap — a popular design toolkit used by millions of websites.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Outdated Bootstrap Library Allows Script Injection via Button Components
mediumYour website uses an old version of Bootstrap (a popular design toolkit) that has a known security flaw. A specific button feature in this version doesn't properly filter out malicious code, meaning that if any user-supplied text ever reaches those buttons, it could run unwanted scripts in your visitors' browsers. Bootstrap 3 is also no longer maintained, so no official fix will be released for this version.
Outdated jQuery Library Allows Malicious Scripts to Run on Your Site
highYour website is using an old version of a very common JavaScript tool called jQuery (version 3.3.1). This version has a known flaw that can allow an attacker to sneak malicious code onto your web pages, which then runs in your visitors' browsers. The fix is straightforward: update jQuery to a newer version.
