Wiki Entry
Version Information Disclosure
Your server headers reveal software version information that could be exploited by attackers.
Why This Matters
Exposing version numbers helps attackers identify known vulnerabilities in your software stack. This information can be used to target specific exploits or zero-day vulnerabilities.
How to Fix
Framework-specific solutions and general best practices
Configure your web server to remove version information from headers. For example, in Apache, set 'ServerTokens Prod' in httpd.conf. In nginx, use 'server_tokens off;'.
