Server Information Exposed

Your server is revealing information about its software in HTTP headers (like 'Server' or 'X-Powered-By').

Why This Matters

While not directly dangerous, exposing server software versions helps attackers identify known vulnerabilities in your stack. It's like putting a sign on your door listing all your locks — it makes planning an attack easier.

How to Fix

Framework-specific solutions and general best practices

Configure your web server to remove or hide headers like 'Server' and 'X-Powered-By'. This is defense in depth — it won't stop attacks but makes reconnaissance harder.
