0–100, higher is better. How it is calculated

imgbox.com is a well-established free image hosting platform operated by Gransy, s.r.o., a Czech company. The service offers users the ability to upload, host, and share images with a simple and fast interface, supporting JPG, GIF, and PNG formats up to 10MB each. The platform includes features such as gallery creation, thumbnail customization, and comment options, targeting a general audience seeking free image hosting solutions. The website has a consistent brand presence and a moderate market position with millions of hosted files and over 7 years of operational history. Technically, the site uses a combination of jQuery, AngularJS 1.2.0, and Bootstrap frameworks, with Cloudflare DNS and SSL enabled for secure connections. Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager are employed for user tracking and analytics. While the site performs well and is mobile responsive to a basic degree, the use of an outdated AngularJS version and lack of DNSSEC and security headers present moderate security risks. The absence of a cookie consent mechanism and limited privacy compliance features indicate room for improvement in regulatory adherence. From a security perspective, the site benefits from SSL encryption and CSRF token usage in forms, but lacks explicit security policies, incident response contacts, and modern security headers. No critical vulnerabilities or malware indicators were found, but the outdated JavaScript framework and missing DNSSEC reduce the overall security posture. The WHOIS data is consistent and transparent, supporting the legitimacy of the domain and business. Overall, imgbox.com is a functional and trustworthy image hosting service with good content quality and technical implementation. However, enhancements in security practices, privacy compliance, and contact transparency are recommended to strengthen user trust and regulatory alignment.

Priority findings

7 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. Security headers

    Security headers are instructions your web server sends to every visitor’s browser. Missing ones leave visitors more exposed to attacks such as clickjacking and injected scripts.

    • High

      Missing Strict-Transport-Security header

      Forces HTTPS connections

      What to do: Add "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload"

      • CWE-319
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V3.4.1
    • High

      Missing X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

    • High

      Missing Content-Security-Policy header

      Controls resources the browser is allowed to load

      What to do: Implement a Content-Security-Policy appropriate for your application

      • ASVS V3.4.3
      • OWASP Secure Headers: OWASP Secure Headers Project recommends Content-Security-Policy: default-src 'self'; form-action 'self'; base-uri 'self'; object-src 'none';…
  2. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • High

      No Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

    • High

      No Cookie Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

Results by check

Each check with its score, findings and the evidence it collected.

How this score is calculated

The security score runs 0–100, higher is better. It is the plain average of the security checks that completed in this scan, each counted equally. A check that could not run is left out: it counts neither as a pass nor as a fail.

Not counted

  • NIS2 outside view: Re-weights evidence from the TLS, email, DNS, network and hygiene checks, so counting it would count that evidence twice. Shown on its own.
  • OffSeq Observations: An AI reading of the site, useful context but not reproducible evidence. Shown on its own.

Findings that cap the score at 49

Each of these is serious on its own, so while any is present the site cannot rate better than high risk, however good the other checks are.

  • The certificate is not trusted by browsers
  • The website is not served over HTTPS
  • A database, remote desktop, file-sharing or Telnet service is reachable from the internet
  • The page loads a script from a compromised source
  • The domain registration has expired
  • SPF authorises every server to send mail as the domain

Partial scans

When the site blocks Guard or most checks cannot run, the score covers only the checks that ran (usually DNS and email), is capped at 75 and is shown as partial, without a risk level.

Technical appendix

Business context, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.

Business context

Business profile

imgbox.com operates in the technology sector as a free image hosting service with a business model primarily supported by advertising. The company targets a broad audience including casual users needing fast and simple image upload and sharing capabilities. The partnership with sendvid.com for video uploads indicates strategic ecosystem expansion. The domain's long age and consistent registration data suggest stable operations. However, the lack of direct contact information and limited published policies may impact user confidence. The platform's reliance on older technologies and minimal privacy controls could pose challenges in competitive and regulatory environments. Growth opportunities exist through modernization of tech stack, enhanced privacy compliance, and expanded service offerings.

Security posture

The security posture of imgbox.com is moderate. The site enforces HTTPS with valid SSL certificates and uses CSRF tokens to protect form submissions. However, the absence of DNSSEC, lack of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, and use of an outdated AngularJS version introduce potential vulnerabilities. No explicit security or incident response policies are published, and no dedicated security contact channels are provided. The site does not implement cookie consent mechanisms despite using tracking scripts, which may raise GDPR compliance concerns. Overall, while no critical security flaws were detected, improvements in modern security practices and compliance transparency are advisable to mitigate risks and enhance trust.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to improve DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Upgrade or replace AngularJS 1.2.0 with a modern, supported JavaScript framework to reduce security vulnerabilities.
  3. Implement standard security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection.
  4. Add a cookie consent banner and explicit cookie policy to comply with GDPR and other privacy regulations.
  5. Publish a clear security policy and provide incident response contact information to improve transparency and user trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a legacy technology stack with AngularJS 1.2.0 and jQuery 1.11.0 alongside Bootstrap for UI components. It leverages Cloudflare for DNS and SSL termination, ensuring encrypted connections. Google Analytics and Tag Manager are integrated for analytics and tracking. The site is moderately optimized for performance and mobile devices but lacks advanced accessibility features. The HTML and CSS are valid and SEO optimized with proper meta tags. However, the outdated AngularJS version and missing DNSSEC represent technical debt and security risks. The hosting infrastructure is modernized through a partnership with an experienced hosting team, supporting scalability for billions of files. Overall, the technical foundation is solid but requires modernization and enhanced security controls.
Standards and sources

Reference chips under each finding point to the standard, regulation or specification the finding relates to. They are taken from the official datasets below and mapped conservatively: a finding with no defensible link shows none. NIS2 and GDPR references mark where a finding is relevant evidence, not a compliance verdict. Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690 binds digital infrastructure and digital service providers; for other entities it is the most detailed public reading of the Article 21 measures. WCAG, EN 301 549, European Accessibility Act and Web Accessibility Directive references name the requirement an automated accessibility rule relates to; they are not a conformance verdict.
