Grade C — 4 to fix, 4 minor.
passive scan · the deep checks need you signed in · scanned 20h ago
This is a passive website security report for image-generator.io, graded C (64/100). We checked its SSL certificate, HTTP security headers, DNS records, email spoofing protection and publicly exposed files — the same surface a browser and a search engine already see.
We found 8 issues on this scan — each has a plain-English explanation and a copy-paste fix below.
Not your site?
Your site is served over HTTPS but doesn't send a Strict-Transport-Security header. Without it, the first visit (or a link typed as http://) can be intercepted and downgraded to plain HTTP before the redirect happens — a foothold for man-in-the-middle attacks on public Wi-Fi.
There's no Content-Security-Policy header. A CSP is the single most effective defense against cross-site scripting (XSS): it tells the browser which sources of scripts, styles, and other content are allowed, so an injected <script> from a compromised dependency or a reflected input simply won't run.
Nothing stops your site from being embedded in an <iframe> on another domain. An attacker can overlay an invisible frame of your app on their page and trick a logged-in user into clicking buttons they can't see — a clickjacking attack.
Without `X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff`, browsers may guess ("sniff") the type of a response and, for example, run an uploaded file as JavaScript. It's a one-line header that closes a whole class of content-type confusion bugs.
Your responses advertise the exact software you run (X-Powered-By: Next.js). It's not a hole by itself, but it hands attackers a shortcut: they can look up known vulnerabilities for that precise version instead of probing blindly.
The domain image-generator.io publishes no DMARC record. DMARC is what tells receiving mail servers to reject or quarantine messages that fail your SPF/DKIM checks. Without it, an attacker can send phishing emails with a "From:" address at your domain and inboxes have no signal to distrust them — a favourite trick for invoice fraud and credential phishing.
image-generator.io is not protected by DNSSEC. DNSSEC signs your DNS records so resolvers can detect a forged answer — without it, an attacker who can poison DNS could point your domain at their own server without touching anything you control.
image-generator.io publishes no CAA records. CAA tells the world which certificate authorities are allowed to issue HTTPS certificates for your domain. Without it, any CA can be persuaded to issue a cert for your domain, which widens the door to mis-issuance.
