Version Disclosure (Tornado)
Summary#
Invicti identified a version disclosure (Tornado) in the target web server's HTTP response. Eclipse Tornado is a scalable, non-blocking web server and web application framework written in Python.
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 Tornado.
Impact#
An attacker might use the disclosed information to harvest specific security vulnerabilities for the version identified.
Remediation#
Make use of RequestHandler.clear_header()
to prevent information leakage from the SERVER
header of its HTTP response:
RequestHandler.clear_header(‘Server’)
