Practical Security Guides For Your Team
Clear, non-alarmist guidance for real web vulnerabilities so your team can prioritize fixes confidently.
Outdated Bootstrap Library Contains a Script Injection Flaw
mediumYour website is using an old version of Bootstrap (a popular design toolkit), which contains a known security flaw. The flaw could allow someone to inject malicious code into a tooltip element on your site — but only if they can also control the content of that tooltip. This is a medium-priority issue: worth fixing on your next development cycle, but not an emergency.
Outdated jQuery Library Allows Malicious Scripts to Run in Users' Browsers
mediumYour website uses an outdated version of jQuery (3.3.1), a common tool that helps web pages work smoothly. This version has a known flaw that could allow an attacker to sneak malicious code into your pages if your site processes any content from outside sources — like user-submitted text or third-party data. The fix is straightforward: update jQuery to the latest 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Outdated jQuery Library Allows Malicious Scripts to Run on Your Site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.
Outdated DataTables Library Allows Tampering with Page Behaviour
highYour website uses an outdated version of DataTables — a popular JavaScript library for displaying sortable, searchable tables. The version in use has a known flaw that could allow an attacker to tamper with how the page behaves by injecting unexpected values into the library's internal logic. Think of it like a faulty lock that a previous repair didn't fully fix — a second patch is needed to close the gap.
Axios Library May Leak Proxy Credentials During Web Requests
mediumYour 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.
Outdated HTTP Library Can Leak API Keys to Unintended Servers
highYour application uses an outdated version of axios, a popular tool for making web requests. Due to a flaw in how it handles certain URLs, API keys or other credentials your app sends with requests could be accidentally forwarded to the wrong server — including servers controlled by an attacker. This affects both server-side and browser-based usage of the library.
Outdated Axios Library Leaks Security Tokens to Third-Party Servers
mediumYour application uses an outdated version of Axios, a popular tool that helps your app communicate with other services over the internet. Due to a bug in this version, a special security token — designed to protect your users from a type of attack where a malicious website tricks their browser into taking actions on your site — is accidentally sent to any external server your app talks to, not just your own. Think of it like a master key being slipped under every door in the building instead of just your own front door.
Outdated HTML Sanitizer Can Be Bypassed to Inject Malicious Scripts
mediumYour website uses a library called DOMPurify to clean up user-submitted content before displaying it — think of it like a filter that strips out dangerous code. A flaw in older versions of this library means the filter can be tricked under specific conditions, allowing malicious scripts to slip through. This only affects sites that have enabled a particular non-default setting called SAFE_FOR_TEMPLATES.
Broken HTML Filter Lets Attackers Run Malicious Code in Users' Browsers
immediateYour website uses a popular library called DOMPurify to clean up user-submitted content before displaying it — think of it like a bouncer checking IDs at the door. A flaw in older versions of this library means the bouncer can be tricked by a specific type of disguised content, allowing malicious code to slip through and run in your visitors' browsers. This is a confirmed, actively exploitable issue with public attack code available.
