Squarespace Under the Microscope – Student Investigates Website Builder Security

Building a website has never been easier—but how secure are the tools we use? Ossi Muhonen tackled this question in his AIMlearning project by analyzing the security of Squarespace. He examined the platform’s features, researched potential risks, and reviewed public Squarespace websites, including their HTML code, for vulnerabilities.

The project culminated in a PowerPoint presentation outlining key security considerations for users of the service. During the process, Muhonen gained insights into various threats, including XSS (Cross-Site Scripting) attacks, and how they can compromise website safety.
