Header Info Disclosure Scanner

Detects headers like X-Powered-By or Server that reveal your tech stack and version to attackers.

What it checks

This scanner looks for response headers like X-Powered-By or Server that reveal which technology and version your site runs. It flags when the server overshares details about its internals. This is information that gives nothing to the visitor but plenty to an attacker.

Why it matters

Knowing your framework and its exact version lets an attacker look up known vulnerabilities for that precise version. It saves them reconnaissance work and makes your site an easier target. It is not a severe flaw on its own, but it adds unnecessary risk.

How to fix it

Configure your server or framework to remove or hide these informational headers from responses. Many platforms offer a one-line option to disable the technology header. It is a quick change that reduces the amount of exposed information.
