Issue

Application Server Version being disclosed in the HttpRequest Headers.

Environment

  • Liferay DXP 7.0

Resolution

This type of issue relates to application server configuration instead of Liferay implementation.

There is a fact, that 7.0 uses Tomcat 8.x while later versions of Liferay use Tomcat 9.x. Tomcat 8 shows the header Server by default, and Tomcat 9 does not.

For Tomcat, you can override server header as mentioned here:

For JBoss, the solution mentioned by the Redhat which might be helpful:
