EdgeIQ Labs — Security Report

① Executive Summary

This report covers 2 target(s) scanned by EdgeIQ Labs security tools. A total of 11 issue(s) were identified with an overall risk score of 62/100 (HIGH). Immediate action is recommended. Critical vulnerabilities in XSS, exposed database ports, and an expired SSL certificate require urgent remediation.

② XSS Findings (3)

Stored XSS in Comment Field

example.com | https://example.com/blog/post/123

CRITICAL

User-supplied input in the 'comment' parameter is stored and executed when other users view the page. This affects all visitors.

Parameter: comment

Payload: <img src=x onerror=alert(1)>

Evidence: Comment submitted containing <img src=x onerror=alert(1)> triggers on page load.

Reflected XSS in Search Parameter

example.com | https://example.com/search?q=test

HIGH

User-supplied input in the 'q' parameter is reflected in the response without proper sanitization or encoding, allowing JavaScript execution.

Parameter: q

Payload: <script>alert(1)</script>

DOM-based XSS via #fragment

example.com | https://example.com/dashboard#tab=profile

MEDIUM

The client-side JavaScript reads the URL fragment and writes it to the DOM without sanitization, leading to script execution.

Parameter: hash_fragment

Payload: #tab=<img src=x onerror=alert(1)>

Evidence: window.location.hash is directly injected into innerHTML.

④ SSL / Certificate Findings (1)

example.com

Issuer: Let's Encrypt Authority X3 | Grade: A

Exp: -8d

Valid: 2026-01-15T00:00:00Z → 2026-04-15T23:59:59Z

Protocol: TLS 1.2

Headers:

X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff
X-Frame-Options: DENY
X-XSS-Protection: 1; mode=block
Content-Security-Policy: default-src 'self'

Issues:

[CRITICAL] Certificate Expiring — SSL certificate expired 8 days ago. Renew immediately.
[MEDIUM] Insecure Cipher Suite — Consider enabling TLS 1.3 and disabling legacy CBC ciphers.

⑤ Alert History (4 events)

Time	Alert	Target	Severity
2026-04-22T14:32:00Z	Port 3306 (MySQL) Opened on example.com	example.com	HIGH
2026-04-20T09:10:00Z	Critical CVE-2021-44228 (Log4Shell) Detected	example.com	CRITICAL
2026-04-18T16:45:00Z	XSS Payload Detected in User Input	example.com	MEDIUM
2026-04-15T23:59:59Z	SSL Certificate Expired on example.com	example.com	CRITICAL

⑥ Recommendations

[CRITICAL] Patch Log4Shell (CVE-2021-44228) Immediately

CVSS 10.0 remote code execution vulnerability detected on example.com. Upgrade Log4j to version 2.17.0 or later. This is the highest priority fix — it allows full server compromise with no authentication.

[CRITICAL] Fix Expired SSL Certificate on example.com

The SSL certificate expired 8 days ago. All HTTPS connections will fail or show browser warnings. Renew immediately via Let's Encrypt or your certificate authority.

[HIGH] Close Public-facing MySQL Port 3306

Port 3306 (MySQL) is exposed to the internet on 93.184.216.34. Database servers must never be internet-facing. Block port 3306 in the firewall immediately, or place behind a VPN/jump host.

[HIGH] Address Critical/High XSS Vulnerabilities

3 XSS vulnerabilities found including a critical stored XSS in the comment field. Implement input sanitization and output encoding site-wide. Consider deploying a WAF as a temporary mitigation layer.

[MEDIUM] Restrict SSH Access

Port 22 (SSH) is exposed to the internet. Restrict SSH access to known IP addresses via firewall rules, or require VPN for SSH access. Also upgrade OpenSSH to the latest version to patch the username enumeration vulnerability.
