Vulnerability Descriptions

Information Disclosure in HTTP Headers of default config example (CVE pending)

HTTP response headers from the Zammad application include the type and version of the web server software deployed for the system. An attacker could use this information to find public vulnerabilities and target attacks against specific types and versions of the server.

It is also possible to determine the exact version of the NginX/Apache2 used by the application from the HTTP response headers that were configured with the example/default configuration.

Recommended Resolution

Existing Webserver/Reverse Proxies installations can't be updated automatically. Therefore manual action is required.

  https://github.com/zammad/zammad/blob/develop/contrib/nginx/zammad.conf

• For Apache2: Extend your "VirtualHost" with "ServerTokens Prod" and "ServerSignature Off" as in
