--description--
As a reminder, this project is being built upon the following starter project on Repl.it, or cloned from GitHub.
Hackers can exploit known vulnerabilities in Express/Node if they see that your site is powered by Express. X-Powered-By: Express
is sent in every request coming from Express by default. Use the helmet.hidePoweredBy()
middleware to remove the X-Powered-By header.
--hints--
helmet.hidePoweredBy() middleware should be mounted correctly
(getUserInput) =>
$.get(getUserInput('url') + '/_api/app-info').then(
(data) => {
assert.include(data.appStack, 'hidePoweredBy');
assert.notEqual(data.headers['x-powered-by'], 'Express');
},
(xhr) => {
throw new Error(xhr.responseText);
}
);
