Synopsis:
The debugging functions TRACK and TRACE HTTP Methods are enabled on your Web server.
Description:
Your website supports the TRACE and/or TRACK methods. TRACE and TRACK are HTTP methods that are used to debug web server connections. These HTTP methods make your website vulnerable to cross‑site scripting and cross‑site tracing attacks.

Risk Factor:
Medium / CVSS Base Score : 4.3(CVSS2#AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C/I:N/A:N)
Solution:
Disable the TRACK and TRACE methods. To disable these methods, add the following lines for each virtual host in your configuration file : RewriteEngine on RewriteCond %{REQUEST_METHOD} ^(TRACE|TRACK) RewriteRule .* - [F] Apache versions 1.3.34, 2.0.55, and 2.2 support disabling the TRACE method natively via the '
TraceEnable'
directive.
Output:
To disable these methods, add the following lines for each virtual
host in your configuration file :
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_METHOD} ^(TRACE|TRACK)
RewriteRule .* - [F]
Alternatively, note that Apache versions 1.3.34, 2.0.55, and 2.2
support disabling the TRACE method natively via the 'TraceEnable'
directive.
