Message

"X-XSS-Protection missing"

Explanation

The server sends no "X-XSS-Protection" entry in the HTTP header to the web browser.

The X-XSS-Protection (cross-site scripting attack filtering) with blocking should by enabled in the web browser by the web site. If the web browser supports X-XSS-Protection it will increase the security of the web application.

Remediation

Set the X-XSS-Protection to 1; mode=block in the web server configuration or in the web application (e.g. PHP scripts).
