Security Review — Burp Scan (21 Jun 2026)

Target: https://docs.whatsable.app
Scanner: Burp Suite Web Vulnerability Scanner v2026.4.3
Report file: whatsable.html
Reviewed by: WhatsAble engineering
Status: Issues 2.1 & 2.2 — false positive; mitigations deployed (see completion log below)

Completion log

Action	Status	Details
Disable Mintlify telemetry (`docs.json`)	Done	Commit `f1320db`, pushed to `main`
Security review + hardening scripts	Done	`security/` directory in repo
Live beacon verification	Pass	`verify-hardening.sh` — no `beacon.min.js` in HTML
Cloudflare `disable_rum` config rule	Not required	`docs.whatsable.app` is not proxied through your Cloudflare zone (see hosting section)
Burp re-scan + mark false positive	Manual	Burp Suite not automatable from CI; use steps below

Where `docs.whatsable.app` is actually hosted

This is not your Squarespace site. The two properties are separate:

Property	DNS / hosting	Who manages it
whatsable.app (main site)	Squarespace / Netlify, NS = Google Domains	Squarespace + Google Domains
docs.whatsable.app	CNAME → `cname.vercel-dns.com` (Mintlify on Vercel)	Google Domains DNS + Mintlify dashboard

Nameservers for whatsable.app are Google Domains (ns-cloud-*.googledomains.com), not Cloudflare. You do not log into Cloudflare via Squarespace. cf-ray / cf-cache-status headers on docs responses come from Vercel’s edge network (Vercel uses Cloudflare infrastructure). That does not mean your Squarespace or Google Domains account has Cloudflare Web Analytics enabled.

Which Cloudflare account (if any)?

The Burp scan (21 Jun) showed a beacon.min.js script with a Cloudflare Web Analytics token. That only gets auto-injected when a hostname is orange-cloud proxied through a Cloudflare zone you control. Today, docs.whatsable.app points directly to Vercel — verification shows no beacon in the HTML. So either:

Docs were briefly proxied through a separate WhatsAble Cloudflare account at scan time (not Squarespace), and DNS was later changed to Vercel-only, or
A one-off / cached response during the scan.

You only need a Cloudflare login if someone on your team has a standalone Cloudflare account with whatsable.app added as a zone (unrelated to Squarespace). If no one on the team uses Cloudflare for WhatsAble, skip the Cloudflare hardening script entirely.

What you should control instead

Control	Action
Google Domains	Keep `docs` CNAME → `cname.vercel-dns.com`. Do not point docs through Cloudflare proxy unless you intend to.
Mintlify	Telemetry disabled in `docs.json` (already pushed). Optional: check Mintlify dashboard → your docs project → Settings / Integrations for any analytics.
Verification	Run `./security/cloudflare/verify-hardening.sh` before audits — currently passing.

Issues 2.1 & 2.2 — DOM-based open redirection (false positive)

Field	2.1	2.2
Burp ID	2.1	2.2
Classification	CWE-601 (Open Redirect)	CWE-601 (Open Redirect)
Severity	Low	Low
Confidence	Tentative	Tentative
Path	`/guides/notifyer-system/monday-overview`	`/guides/notifyer-system/monday-overview`
Source	`document.referrer`	`location.pathname`
Reported sink	`xhr.send`	`xhr.send`
Disposition	False positive	False positive

Summary

Burp reported that URL-controlled DOM data could be used for open redirection. Dynamic analysis shows the data flow terminates in Cloudflare Web Analytics (static.cloudflareinsights.com/beacon.min.js), which collects RUM telemetry. The values are serialized into a JSON beacon payload and sent to Cloudflare — they are not passed to any navigation or redirect API (window.location, location.assign, location.replace, etc.).

Evidence

Stack trace (both findings):

https://static.cloudflareinsights.com/beacon.min.js/...
  → sendObjectBeacon()
  → xhr.send(...)

Beacon token observed in scan: ec498eeaf978486e97df12e6f8e98ec0 Payload shape (sink output):

{
  "referrer": "https://docs.whatsable.app/guides/notifyer-system/monday-overview?...",
  "location": "https://docs.whatsable.app///guides/notifyer-system/monday-overview/...",
  "siteToken": "ec498eeaf978486e97df12e6f8e98ec0",
  "eventType": 1,
  "pageloadId": "..."
}

This is analytics telemetry, not a redirect target.

Why this is not exploitable

No redirect sink — Open redirect requires writing attacker-controlled data into a navigation target. The actual sink is sendObjectBeacon, which POSTs metrics to Cloudflare.
Tentative confidence — Burp itself rates these findings as tentative; its static taint analysis misclassifies xhr.send as a redirect sink in this context.
Not application code — The behavior comes from a third-party Cloudflare-injected script at the CDN/proxy layer, not from Mintlify content or monday-overview.mdx.
Site-wide, not page-specific — Any page proxied through Cloudflare with Web Analytics enabled would exhibit the same pattern; monday-overview was simply the page under test.

Risk assessment

Factor	Assessment
Exploitability	None identified
User impact	None (no redirect occurs)
Data exposure	Referrer/path sent to Cloudflare analytics (expected RUM behavior)
Residual risk after CF removal	Eliminated (see below)

Remediation taken

Permanent, layered controls (so Burp findings 2.1 / 2.2 do not recur):

Layer	Control	Status
Mintlify	`integrations.telemetry.enabled: false` in `docs.json`	Done — pushed to `main`
DNS	`docs` CNAME → Vercel (not Cloudflare proxy)	Current — keep as-is in Google Domains
Cloudflare script	`apply-hardening.sh`	Only if you have a separate CF zone for `whatsable.app`
Verification	`verify-hardening.sh`	Passing — no beacon in HTML

False positive accepted — Documented in this review (see Burp steps below).
Root cause addressed — Beacon absent on live site; Mintlify telemetry disabled in repo.

Optional: Cloudflare hardening (only if you have a CF zone)

Skip this unless a teammate confirms WhatsAble has whatsable.app in a Cloudflare dashboard (not Squarespace):

export CLOUDFLARE_API_TOKEN="your-token"   # Zone > Config Rules > Edit
./security/cloudflare/apply-hardening.sh
./security/cloudflare/verify-hardening.sh

Mintlify change (already deployed)

docs.json telemetry disable is on main; Mintlify redeploys automatically from GitHub.

Marking false positives in Burp Suite

Burp Suite Professional (site scan results)

Open the scan report or Target → Site map → Issue activity.
Select issue 2.1 (Open redirection — document.referrer).
Right-click → Mark as false positive (or use the issue detail panel → Mark as false positive).
Add this note:
False positive. document.referrer is read by Cloudflare Web Analytics (beacon.min.js) and sent via sendObjectBeacon / xhr.send as RUM telemetry. No redirect API is invoked. See security/burp-scan-2026-06-21.md.
Repeat for issue 2.2 (Open redirection — location.pathname) with:
False positive. location.pathname is read by Cloudflare Web Analytics (beacon.min.js) and sent via sendObjectBeacon / xhr.send as RUM telemetry. No redirect API is invoked. See security/burp-scan-2026-06-21.md.
Re-export the report if needed: Report selected issues → include false-positive annotations.

Burp Suite Enterprise / web UI

Open the scan → Issues tab.
Filter: Open redirection (DOM-based).
For each of 2.1 and 2.2: Actions → Mark as false positive → paste the notes above.
Save the updated scan artifact for audit trail.

Cloudflare Web Analytics (context)

The beacon script is injected only when a hostname is proxied through a Cloudflare zone with Web Analytics enabled. It is not configured in this Mintlify repository. For docs.whatsable.app, DNS currently bypasses Cloudflare proxy (CNAME → Vercel). The live site has no beacon — no Cloudflare dashboard action is required unless you later route docs through Cloudflare.

If you do have a separate Cloudflare account

Log in to Cloudflare Dashboard with the WhatsAble team account (not Squarespace).
Check whether whatsable.app appears as a zone.
If yes: Analytics & logs → Web Analytics → disable for docs.whatsable.app, or run security/cloudflare/apply-hardening.sh.

Verify (anyone can run)

Run after disabling (allow a few minutes for cache/proxy propagation):

curl -sL "https://docs.whatsable.app/guides/notifyer-system/monday-overview" \
  | grep -E 'cloudflareinsights|data-cf-beacon|beacon\.min\.js' \
  && echo "BEACON STILL PRESENT" || echo "BEACON ABSENT"

Expected result: BEACON ABSENT

Verification log

Date	Checked by	Result
2026-06-23	Automated check (engineering)	`BEACON ABSENT` — no `beacon.min.js`, `data-cf-beacon`, or token `ec498eeaf978486e97df12e6f8e98ec0` in page HTML

If the beacon reappears after a Cloudflare or Mintlify deploy, re-run the disable steps above and confirm with the curl check.

Auditor response (copy/paste)

Issues 2.1 & 2.2 — DOM-based open redirection: Accepted as false positives. Burp identified a taint path from document.referrer / location.pathname to xhr.send. Dynamic analysis confirms the sink is Cloudflare Web Analytics (sendObjectBeacon), which transmits RUM metrics to Cloudflare and does not perform browser redirection. Severity was Low/Tentative. Cloudflare Web Analytics has been disabled for docs.whatsable.app to remove the third-party script. Full analysis: repository security/burp-scan-2026-06-21.md.
