Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.

NVD · unedited
vantage6-UI is the official user interface for the vantage6 server. In affected versions a number of security headers are not set. This issue has been addressed in commit `68dfa6614` which is expected to be included in future releases. Users are advised to upgrade when a new release is made. While an upgrade path is not available users may modify the docker image build to insert the headers into nginx.

Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.

Recommended fix Moderate confidence
  1. Clone the vantage6-UI repository
  2. Locate the nginx configuration file used in the Docker image build
  3. Add the missing security headers (such as X-Content-Type-Options, X-Frame-Options, Content-Security-Policy, Strict-Transport-Security, X-XSS-Protection) to the nginx configuration
  4. Rebuild the Docker image with the updated nginx configuration
  5. Deploy the rebuilt image to replace the vulnerable version
