Server versioning information or any other sensitive information from the HTTP headers SHOULD BE removed/masked according to industry best practices. This prevents any form of targeted attacks since the vulnerabilities are mostly specific to the vendors.
|
||||
|
||||
## Use Security HTTP Headers
|
||||
Modern browsers support many HTTP headers that can improve web application security to protect against clickjacking, cross-site scripting, and other common attacks.
|
||||
Your API SHOULD use security HTTP headers to improve the level of protection.
|
||||
See the [list of OWASP Secure Headers](https://owasp.org/www-project-secure-headers/) to form the combination of headers
|
||||
Ideally you SHOULD inlcude HTTP Security Headers at least in these areas unless there is an incompatibility with some functional requirement:
|
||||
|
||||
- HTTP Strict Transport Security
|
||||
- Content-Security-Policy
|
||||
- X-Frame-Options
|
||||
- X-Content-Type-Options
|
||||
- X-Permitted-Cross-Domain-Policies
|
||||
- Referrer-Policy
|
||||
- Clear-Site-Data
|
||||
- Cross-Origin-Embedder-Policy
|
||||
- Cross-Origin-Opener-Policy
|
||||
- Cross-Origin-Resource-Policy
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
## Session Management
|
||||
|
||||
RESTful web services SHOULD use session-based authentication, either by establishing a session token via a POST or by using an API key \(Client ID and a Client Secret\) as a POST body argument or as a cookie. Usernames, passwords, session tokens, API keys, and sensitive information MUST NOT appear in the URL, as this can be captured in web server logs, which makes them intrinsically valuable.
