Why it matters

Attackers match the exact CMS version against published vulnerabilities and target sites running affected versions automatically.

How to fix it

Quick fix · under 1 hour
  1. Update the CMS core to the latest release.
  2. Remove version hints: the generator tag, readme files and changelogs in the web root.
WordPress (functions.php)
remove_action('wp_head', 'wp_generator');
add_filter('the_generator', '__return_empty_string');
nginx (block readme/changelog files)
location ~* /(readme\.html|license\.txt|changelog\.txt)$ { deny all; }
