Overview

Finding ID Version Rule ID IA Controls Severity
V-64375 OH12-1X-000153 SV-78865r1_rule Medium
Description
A web server should be primarily a web server or a proxy server but not both, for the same reasons that other multi-use servers are not recommended. Scanning for web servers that will also proxy requests into an otherwise protected network is a very common attack making the attack anonymous.
