    Description

      Risk/Issue summary description/detail
      The Spark web portals expose technical details about its infrastructure through server response headers.

      The Server header is appended to the server responses as part of the HTTP/1.1 standard. These headers inadvertently disclose information that may aid an attacker in gathering information for a targeted attack. The following information was gathered from server response headers:

      Server: Jetty(9.3.z-SNAPSHOT)
      Server: Apache-Coyote/1.1
       

      Business impact / attack scenario

      An attacker may use this information to identify technologies and research publicly disclosed vulnerabilities that may affect the system.

       

      Recommendation

      Remove the Server header from application responses.
