Missing HSTS Header Vulnerability in HPE Matrix Operating Environment

CVE-2017-5784

What is CVE-2017-5784?

The vulnerability in HPE Matrix Operating Environment version v7.6 arises from a missing HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) header. Without the HSTS header, the application may be susceptible to man-in-the-middle attacks, where attackers intercept and manipulate communication between the client and server. Ensuring the implementation of HSTS headers is crucial for protecting web applications from such vulnerabilities, effectively enforcing that browsers only interact with servers using secure HTTPS connections.
