Missing Directives

⚠CRITICALMissing CRITICAL directive default-src (Base fallback directive)

⚠HIGHMissing HIGH directive base-uri (Base URI control - prevents base tag injection)

⚠HIGHMissing HIGH directive frame-ancestors (Framing control - prevents clickjacking)

⚠MEDIUMMissing MEDIUM directive form-action (Form submission control - prevents form hijacking)

Security Headers

✗Cross-Origin-Opener-PolicyMissing

Isolates the browsing context to prevent Spectre-type side-channel attacks and cross-origin window manipulation.

How to add it:

nginx

add_header Cross-Origin-Opener-Policy "same-origin" always;

apache

Header always set Cross-Origin-Opener-Policy "same-origin"

cloudflare

Rules > Transform Rules > HTTP Response Header Modification > Set Cross-Origin-Opener-Policy to "same-origin"

✓Permissions-PolicyPresent

accelerometer=(), autoplay=(), camera=(), clipboard-read=(), clipboard-write=(self), cross-origin-isolated=(), document-domain=(), encrypted-media=(), fullscreen=(), geolocation=(), gyroscope=(), magnetometer=(), microphone=(), midi=(), payment=(), picture-in-picture=(), publickey-credentials-get=(), screen-wake-lock=(), sync-xhr=(), usb=(), xr-spatial-tracking=()

Restricts which browser features (camera, microphone, geolocation) the page can use, limiting attack surface.

✓Referrer-PolicyPresent

no-referrer, strict-origin-when-cross-origin

Controls how much referrer information is sent with requests, preventing data leaks to third parties.

✓Strict-Transport-SecurityPresent

max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload

Forces browsers to use HTTPS for all future requests, preventing man-in-the-middle attacks and SSL stripping.

✓X-Content-Type-OptionsPresent

nosniff

Prevents browsers from MIME-sniffing responses away from the declared Content-Type, blocking drive-by downloads.

✓X-Frame-OptionsPresent

SAMEORIGIN

Prevents the page from being embedded in iframes, protecting against clickjacking attacks.

✓X-XSS-ProtectionPresent

1; mode=block

Legacy XSS filter for older browsers. Modern browsers use CSP instead. Set to "0" to avoid false positives.

1 recommended security header is missing on www.mygov.scot.

Recommendations

→Add base-uri directive with appropriate restrictions
→Add default-src directive with appropriate restrictions
→Add form-action directive with appropriate restrictions
→Add frame-ancestors directive with appropriate restrictions
→Consider implementing a stricter Content Security Policy

Beyond headers: infrastructure exposure

via OSN, our sister project

Security headers protect the browser. OSN maps what's exposed underneath — servers, open ports, known CVEs, DNS and WHOIS.
