Security checks

Each check inspects a different part of bitbucket.org's public security setup. Green means healthy, yellow needs attention, red is a problem.

Cookie Security
Strengths: 3 cookie(s) analyzed. Issues: 2/3 cookie(s) missing Secure flag (atlCohort, ajs_anonymous_id); 3/3 cookie(s) missing HttpOnly flag (atlCohort, ajs_anonymous_id, bxp_gateway_request_id); 3/3 cookie(s) missing SameSite attribute (atlCohort, ajs_anonymous_id, bxp_gateway_request_id).
Problem
MTA-STS & TLS Reporting
Issues: No MTA-STS configured — email in transit is vulnerable to TLS downgrade attacks. Sending servers cannot verify that your mail server requires TLS; No TLSRPT record — TLS delivery failures won't be reported to domain owner.
Needs work
DNS Configuration
Strengths: 4 nameservers configured (ns-584.awsdns-09.net., ns-1305.awsdns-35.org., ns-1746.awsdns-26.co.uk., ns-445.awsdns-55.com.); 2 MX records present; Zone transfers properly restricted. Issues: DNSSEC not configured — DNS responses can be spoofed.
Needs work
Security Headers
3/5 security headers present. Missing: Referrer-Policy, Permissions-Policy.
Needs work
MX Records & Mail Provider
Strengths: Mail handled by Proofpoint; 2 MX record(s) configured; Multiple MX records provide redundancy; Equal-priority MX records (10) — standard round-robin load balancing for Proofpoint.
Healthy
DNS CAA Records
Strengths: CAA records configured (7 record(s)); Authorized CAs: digicert.com, globalsign.com, letsencrypt.org, amazon.com; Violation reporting (iodef) configured.
Healthy
TLS Configuration
TLSv1.3 negotiated with TLS_AES_256_GCM_SHA384 (256-bit). Strong configuration with no deprecated protocols or weak ciphers detected.
Healthy
DMARC / Email Security
Strengths: DMARC policy set to reject (strongest); SPF record present with hard-fail (-all). Issues: No DKIM records found for common selectors (domain may use custom selectors — this is not a confirmed gap).
Healthy
HSTS Header
HSTS enabled: max-age=63072000s (730 days) with includeSubDomains and preload. Meets best-practice configuration.
Healthy
Known Breaches
No known breaches found in public disclosure databases.
Healthy
security.txt (RFC 9116)
Strengths: security.txt found with 8 field(s); Contact: https://www.atlassian.com/trust/security/report-a-vulnerability, mailto:[email protected]; Expires in 331 days (2027-02-04T00:00:00.000Z); PGP signed (authenticity verifiable); Encryption key provided for secure reporting; Disclosure policy: https://www.atlassian.com/trust/security/report-a-vulnerability; Canonical URL specified; Preferred languages: en; Security hiring link included.
Healthy
TLS Protocol Support
Strengths: TLS 1.3 supported; TLS 1.2 supported; TLS 1.3 supported (strongest). Protocol support: TLS 1.3: Yes, TLS 1.2: Yes, TLS 1.1: No, TLS 1.0: No.
Healthy
CVE Exposure
Detected technologies: AtlassianEdge. No version information exposed — CVE matching not possible (this is good practice).
Healthy
Certificate Hygiene
Strengths: Certificate valid, 174 days remaining; Issued by DigiCert Inc; 1173 certificates logged in CT; Certificates from 8 CAs: "GoDaddy.com, Amazon, COMODO CA Limited.
Healthy

Steps to improve bitbucket.org's security grade, ranked by impact.

1
Enable DNSSEC on your domain
Impact: 1–3 Days (Depends On Registrar)
MEDIUM
Without DNSSEC, DNS responses for bitbucket.org can be spoofed, potentially redirecting users to malicious sites. This requires coordination with your domain registrar to publish DS records.
Compliance impact
NIST 800-53SC-20
Secure name/address resolution service
How to fix this
1
Check if your DNS provider supports DNSSEC (Cloudflare, Route53, etc.)
2
Enable DNSSEC signing in your DNS provider dashboard
3
Add the DS record to your registrar for .org TLD
4
Verify: dig +dnssec bitbucket.org
2
Add optional security headers (Referrer-Policy, Permissions-Policy)
Impact: < 1 Hour
LOW
bitbucket.org has most security headers configured. Missing: Referrer-Policy, Permissions-Policy. These are best-practice additions that reduce the attack surface for client-side vulnerabilities.
How to fix this
1
Add: Referrer-Policy: strict-origin-when-cross-origin
2
Add: Permissions-Policy: camera=(), microphone=(), geolocation=()
3
Verify with: curl -sI https://bitbucket.org | grep -iE 'content-security|x-frame|x-content|referrer|permissions'
