WEB APPLICATION VULNERABILITIES Standard & Premium

Internet Information Server returns IP address in HTTP header (Content-Location)

Description

When you use static HTML pages (for example, Default.htm), a Content-Location header is added to the response. By default, in Internet Information Server (IIS), the Content-Location references the IP address of the server instead of the Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) or Hostname.

Remediation

Check References for details on how to fix this problem.
