## Findings
### 1. HTTP Strict Transport Security (Medium)
No Strict-Transport-Security header was returned.
**Suggested fix.** Add Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains. Start with a short max-age while testing.
### 2. Content Security Policy (Medium)
No Content-Security-Policy header was returned.
**Suggested fix.** Start with Content-Security-Policy-Report-Only. Inventory external scripts and inline code, then test a site-specific policy before enforcing it.
### 3. Framing is restricted (Medium)
Neither X-Frame-Options nor a CSP frame-ancestors directive restricts framing.
**Suggested fix.** Send X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN or a CSP frame-ancestors directive.
### 4. MIME type sniffing is disabled (Low)
No X-Content-Type-Options header was returned.
**Suggested fix.** Add X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff.
### 5. Referrer policy (Low)
No Referrer-Policy header was returned.
**Suggested fix.** Add Referrer-Policy: strict-origin-when-cross-origin.
## Patch
Configuration suggestions for staging review; see `patch/README.md` for placement and verification.
### _headers
```
# Review in staging. CSP is report-only and does not remediate the CSP finding.
/*
Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains

X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff
X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN
Referrer-Policy: strict-origin-when-cross-origin
```
### nginx.conf
```
# Review in staging. CSP is report-only; tailor it before enforcement.
# Add inside the server { } block, then reload nginx.
add_header Strict-Transport-Security "max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains" always;
add_header Content-Security-Policy-Report-Only "default-src 'self'; object-src 'none'; base-uri 'self'; frame-ancestors 'none'; script-src 'self'" always;

### apache.conf
```
# Review in staging. CSP is report-only; tailor it before enforcement.
# Add inside the <VirtualHost> block or .htaccess, then reload Apache.
Header always set Strict-Transport-Security "max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains"
Header always set Content-Security-Policy-Report-Only "default-src 'self'; object-src 'none'; base-uri 'self'; frame-ancestors 'none'; script-src 'self'"

## Requires site-specific review
- csp
## Application findings (deep pass)
The deep pass completed with no confirmed application findings. This does not establish complete coverage or prove the site is secure.
## Basis and limits
The baseline is passive: GET and HEAD against public addresses only. DNS is resolved once and connections are pinned; the site stays inside its own registrable domain; redirects are reported, never followed; the rate and request budget are enforced.
Checks cover transport, response headers, cookie flags, version banners, CORS, the certificate, and a few well-known exposure paths.
## What this review did not do
No exploitation, login, form submission, credential use, file upload, or application-logic testing in the passive baseline. No finding is confirmed exploitable; exposures are recorded as directly observed. Nothing was changed on the server.
## Delivery
`owner-email.md` and `github-issue.md` are generated from these findings. Nothing is sent unless the `send` command runs.
