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Outdated Bootstrap Library Contains a Script Injection Flaw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 has a known security flaw in its tooltip feature. An attacker who can influence the content of a tooltip on your page could use it to run malicious code in your visitors' browsers. Upgrading Bootstrap to a patched version fully resolves this.
Outdated Bootstrap Library Contains a Script Injection Flaw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mediumYour website uses an outdated version of jQuery (3.3.1), a common tool that helps web pages work smoothly.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Outdated jQuery Library Allows Malicious Scripts to Run on Your Site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Outdated DataTables Library Has a Known Script Injection Flaw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.
Outdated DataTables Library Allows Tampering with Page Behaviour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.
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.
Outdated HTML Sanitizer Allows Malicious Scripts to Bypass Protection
highYour website uses a library called DOMPurify to clean up untrusted content before displaying it to users — think of it like a filter that strips out dangerous code. A flaw in the version you're running means that filter can be tricked into letting harmful scripts through. An attacker who can submit content to your site (e.g. via a form, comment box, or rich-text editor) could exploit this to run malicious code in your visitors' browsers.
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.
Text Editor Component Allows Malicious Scripts via Embedded Images
mediumYour website uses TinyMCE, a popular text editor that lets users write and format content. A security gap in versions before 7.0.0 means that if someone embeds a specially crafted image file (an SVG) using certain HTML elements, it could carry hidden malicious code. Think of it like a picture frame that secretly contains a hidden compartment — the image looks normal, but something harmful is tucked inside.
