Access-Control-Expose-Headers

This header specifies which response headers should be exposed to JavaScript in cross-origin requests.

Why It Matters

By default, only simple response headers are exposed. This header controls access to custom headers, which could leak sensitive information if misconfigured.

How We Check

We check which headers are exposed and verify no sensitive information is inadvertently leaked to cross-origin requests.

How to Fix

Only expose headers that cross-origin JavaScript legitimately needs. Avoid exposing authentication tokens or sensitive metadata.
