When HttpOnly cookies are not used, the cookies can be accessed on the client, which enables certain type of client-side attacks. The website configuration should be changed to enforce HttpOnly cookies.
Using secure cookies reduces the risk of third parties intercepting information contained in these cookies.
Ensuring the server information header is not exposed reduces the ability of attackers to exploit certain vulnerabilities.
Information about specific technology used on the server is obscured.
Browsers are prevented from displaying this website's content in frames. This helps mitigate clickjacking attacks.
The Content Security Policy does not allow any insecure active sources.
A Content Security Policy is implemented to help protect against XSS and clickjacking attacks.
The website's Referrer Policy is not configured to allow unsafe information to be sent in the referrer header.
Ensuring the ASP.NET version header is not exposing a specific version makes it harder for attackers to exploit certain vulnerabilities.
Ensuring the ASP.NET version header is not exposed makes it harder for attackers to exploit certain vulnerabilities.
The Content Security Policy does not allow any insecure passive (img/media) sources.
A Content Security Policy is implemented to help protect against XSS and clickjacking attacks.
