Platform or software version number exposed in page headers or markup

Your site is advertising which software platform it runs on and which version — this information is visible in the HTTP headers or page source that any visitor or automated scanner can read. Knowing your exact platform version lets attackers look up known security vulnerabilities for that specific version and target them directly. Hiding version information does not make your site secure on its own, but it removes an easy first step from an attacker's playbook. Ask your developer or hosting provider to remove or suppress version disclosure from HTTP response headers and any meta generator tags in your HTML. This is typically a one-line configuration change in your server or CMS settings.
