Sucuri says the site hqbabes.com is a medium security risk because it runs outdated software (Apache under 2.4.44).

Some hardening improvements can be made:

  • Missing security header for ClickJacking Protection. Alternatively, you can use Content-Security-Policy: frame-ancestors 'none'.
  • Missing security header to prevent Content Type sniffing.
  • Missing Strict-Transport-Security security header.
  • Missing Content-Security-Policy directive. We recommend to add the following CSP directives (you can use default-src if all values are the same): script-src, object-src, base-uri, frame-src
  • Default server banners displayed. Your site is displaying your web server default banners.

However, these hardening improvements don’t impact the Sucuri grade.

To check this further I ran a parasite scan with Unmask Parasites on the site hqbabes.com and it says the page is clean. You can see the same here: Unmask Parasites scan for the site hqbabes.com.
