AspNetMvc header exposes version information
Description
The target website returns AspNet headers along with version information of this website. By exposing these values attackers may attempt to identify if the target software is vulnerable to known vulnerabilities. Or catalog known sites running particular versions to exploit in the future when a vulnerability is identified in the particular version.
Remediation
To remove the X-AspNetMvc-Version information set MvcHandler.DisableMvcResponseHeader = true; in the
Global.asax.cs file in the Application_Start() method.
protected void Application_Start()
{
MvcHandler.DisableMvcResponseHeader = true;
}
