## Security

### Security Headers (D — 40/100)

*3 of 10 headers properly configured*

- **[PASS]** Strict-Transport-Security is properly configured
- **[WARNING]** X-Content-Type-Options header is missing — This header prevents MIME-type sniffing, which can lead to XSS attacks. Set it to 'nosniff'.
- **[WARNING]** X-Frame-Options header is missing — This header prevents clickjacking by controlling who can embed your page in a frame. Set it to DENY or SAMEORIGIN.
- **[WARNING]** Referrer-Policy header is missing — Controls how much referrer information is sent with requests. Set to 'strict-origin-when-cross-origin' or stricter.
- **[WARNING]** Permissions-Policy header is missing — Controls which browser features (camera, microphone, geolocation) are allowed. Set it to restrict unused features.
- **[PASS]** Content-Security-Policy is present
- **[WARNING]** Cross-Origin-Opener-Policy header is missing — COOP isolates your browsing context, preventing cross-origin side-channel attacks. Set to 'same-origin'.
- **[WARNING]** Cross-Origin-Embedder-Policy header is missing — COEP prevents loading cross-origin resources without explicit permission. Required for SharedArrayBuffer and high-resolution timers.
- **[WARNING]** X-Powered-By header reveals technology stack — This header discloses server technology (e.g. Express, PHP), helping attackers target known vulnerabilities. Remove it.
- **[PASS]** Server header is present without version info

### Content Security Policy (C — 55/100)

*6 of 10 CSP checks passed*

- **[INFO]** Raw CSP policy
- **[PASS]** default-src directive is set
- **[CRITICAL]** 'unsafe-inline' found in script source — 'unsafe-inline' allows inline <script> tags, defeating CSP against XSS. Remove it and use nonces or hashes instead.
- **[CRITICAL]** 'unsafe-eval' found in script source — 'unsafe-eval' allows eval() and similar functions, enabling code injection. Remove it.
- **[PASS]** No wildcard in script source
- **[PASS]** object-src is set to 'none'
- **[PASS]** base-uri is properly restricted
- **[PASS]** frame-ancestors directive is set
- **[WARNING]** form-action directive is missing — form-action restricts where forms can submit data, preventing form hijacking.
- **[PASS]** upgrade-insecure-requests is enabled

- **[PASS]** Cookie '_v' has the HttpOnly flag
- **[WARNING]** Cookie '_v' has no SameSite attribute — Without an explicit SameSite attribute, browser default behavior varies. Set SameSite=Lax or Strict.
