X-Backend-Server header exposes server information
Description
The target website returns the X-Backend-Server
header which includes potentially internal/hidden IP addresses
or hostnames. By exposing these values, attackers may attempt to circumvent security proxies and access these
hosts directly.
Remediation
Consult your proxy/load balancer documentation or provider on how to disable revealing the
X-Backend-Server
header value.
