I Scanned 100 Websites for Security Vulnerabilities

Over the past month, I ran WebSec Scanner Pro against 100 random websites to see just how bad the security situation really is. The results? Worse than I expected.

The Numbers

Vulnerability Type Found In Severity

Missing Security Headers 78% Medium

Outdated Server Software 52% High

CORS Misconfiguration 34% Medium

Exposed .git/config 12% Critical

Open Admin Panels 8% Critical

SQL Injection (Basic) 6% Critical

Top 5 Most Common Issues

1. Missing Security Headers (78%)

The vast majority of sites don't set basic security headers:

X-Frame-Options: MISSING (clickjacking risk) Content-Security-Policy: MISSING (XSS risk) Strict-Transport-Security: MISSING (MITM risk)
