You not knowing how to properly configure or secure a web server to allay your concerns should not become everyone else's problem.

Somehow this hasn't been a 'massive security risk' for the last 35 years but suddenly is in 2025?

Honestly a much bigger problem is sites like Yelp making nearly every link on their mobile site a phony redirect to the App Store. That shit is infuriating and a much bigger real world problem.

The whole browser is a massive security leak. What genius thought it was a good idea for the web page I visit in the morning to get the weather forecast to be able to run arbitrary code and to communicate with arbitrary network hosts?
