Server header is exposed
The response identifies part of the serving software. This is informational.
What is the Server header?
The Server response header may identify the web server, proxy or CDN handling a request. Detailed product versions can provide unnecessary reconnaissance information, although hiding them is not a substitute for patching.
What to do next
- Avoid detailed version strings.
- If desired, suppress or generalise the header at the web server or proxy.
- Prioritise patching over hiding the product name.
How to verify the fix
Inspect responses from both the CDN and origin.
When this result may be wrong
A generic server name is low risk and may be inserted by infrastructure you do not control.
