Version Disclosure (ASP.NET MVC)
Severity: Low
Summary
Netsparker identified a version disclosure (ASP.NET MVC framework) in target web server's HTTP response.
This information can help an attacker gain a greater understanding of the systems in use and potentially develop further attacks targeted at the specific version of ASP.NET MVC framework.
Impact
An attacker might use the disclosed information to harvest specific security vulnerabilities for the version identified.
Remediation
Configure your web server to prevent information leakage from the
X-AspNetMvc-Version header of its HTTP response by adding the following code to the Application_Start() function in Global.asax.cs:
MvcHandler.DisableMvcResponseHeader = true;
