Technical details and impact analysis

Violation of Secure Design Principles
URL : http://inside.gratipay.com/ Description : This header enables the Cross-site scripting (XSS) filter built into most recent web browsers. It's usually enabled by default anyway, so the role of this header is to re-enable the filter for this particular website if it was disabled by the user. This header is supported in IE 8+, and in Chrome (not sure which versions). The anti-XSS filter was added in Chrome 4. Its unknown if that version honored this header. Solution : Need to set X-XSS-Protection: 1; mode=block in response header
