Website Security

4mation
failed icon
Server information header exposed
Exposing information about the server version increases the ability of attackers to exploit certain vulnerabilities. The website configuration should be changed to prevent version information being revealed in the 'server' header.
failed icon
X-Powered-By header exposed
The X-Powered-By header reveals information about specific technology used on the server. This information can be used to exploit vulnerabilities. The server configuration should be changed to remove this header.
failed icon
X-Frame-Options is not deny or sameorigin
Browsers may display this website's content in frames. This can lead to clickjacking attacks.
failed icon
CSP is not implemented
No valid Content Security Policy is implemented. This increases the risk of XSS and clickjacking attacks.
failed icon
X-Content-Type-Options is not nosniff
Browsers may interpret files as a different MIME type than what is specified in the Content-Type HTTP header. This can lead to MIME confusion attacks.
passed icon
Referrer policy is not unsafe-url
The website's Referrer Policy is not configured to allow unsafe information to be sent in the referrer header.
passed icon
ASP.NET version header not exposing specific ASP.net version
Ensuring the ASP.NET version header is not exposing a specific version makes it harder for attackers to exploit certain vulnerabilities.
passed icon
ASP.NET version header not exposed
Ensuring the ASP.NET version header is not exposed makes it harder for attackers to exploit certain vulnerabilities.
