Sucuri says the site pornhost.com is a low security risk; however, it did have some minor issues. First, the scan detected that pornhost.com was using a TLS certificate that didn’t match the host name.
Some hardening improvements can be made:
- Missing security header for
ClickJacking Protection. Alternatively, you can useContent-Security-Policy: frame-ancestors 'none'.- Missing security header to prevent
Content Typesniffing.- Missing
Strict-Transport-Securitysecurity header.- Missing
Content-Security-Policydirective. 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
However, these hardening improvements don’t impact the Sucuri grade. The TLS certificate site issue wasn’t enough to change the overall grade of the scan either.
On a positive note, no security vendor associated with Sucuri has blacklisted the site pornhost.com, meaning they don’t think the site is malicious.
To check this further I ran a parasite scan with Unmask Parasites on the site pornhost.com and it says the page is clean. You can see the same here: Unmask Parasites scan for the site pornhost.com.
I also checked the domain pornhost.com on VirusTotal and no security vendor has flagged the domain as malicious. You can see the same here: VirusTotal scan for the site pornhost.com.
In conclusion, Pornhost is a low security risk. Sucuri didn’t detect any malware. Moreover, no security vendor associated with Sucuri or VirusTotal has flagged the domain as malicious. Overall grade: Safe.
