Priority fixes for pond5.com
Ordered by impact and by how common each practice is among peers.
Priority 1 · Harden
Framing restricted
Observed: The homepage did not send frame-ancestors or X-Frame-Options, so other sites may frame it.
Why it matters: Without it, another site can load your pages in a hidden frame and trick visitors into clicking buttons (clickjacking).
What to do: Send Content-Security-Policy: frame-ancestors 'self' (or a list of trusted origins). X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN covers older browsers.
On Amazon CloudFront: Set frame options in a response headers policy.
62% of Stock Image & Video Libraries peers do this. Limit: Read from the homepage response only; other pages or regions may send different headers.
Priority 2 · Harden
Certificate lifetime of 100 days or less
Observed: The certificate from Amazon had a 197-day validity period, longer than the 100-day maximum that applies from March 2027.
What to do: Move to automated issuance and renewal now, while you still have time to test it.
57% of Stock Image & Video Libraries peers do this.
Priority 3 · Harden
X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff
Observed: The homepage response did not include X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff.
What to do: Send X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff on all responses and make sure each file is served with the correct Content-Type.
On Amazon CloudFront: Enable it in a response headers policy (security headers section).
56% of Stock Image & Video Libraries peers do this.
Priority 4 · Harden
security.txt published
Observed: No valid /.well-known/security.txt with a Contact field was returned.
What to do: Publish /.well-known/security.txt with at least Contact and Expires fields, as RFC 9116 requires, and review it before it expires.
25% of Stock Image & Video Libraries peers do this.
