Server software versions hidden

Security headers, HTTPS enforcement, cookies and cross-origin rules of the website.

Why it matters

Exact version numbers let attackers look up which public exploits work against your server, and automated tools target vulnerable versions specifically.

How to fix it

Quick fix · under 1 hour
  1. Turn off version banners in the web server and the application runtime.
  2. Keep the software updated - hiding the version is not a replacement for patching.
  3. Reload the web server and re-run the scan to confirm.
