Synopsis

External Broken Resources Detected

Description

Web applications heavily rely on external resources such as JavaScript files, Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) or images. When an application uses links which targets external resources which do not exist, an attacker could try gaining control over this resource to inject code in the target web application or get application users traffic on their malicious servers.

Solution

Review broken resources and remove them from the target application. Before referencing external resources in a web application, ensure that the target resource exist and that the behavior is expected.
