Description
The "X-Content-Type-Options" header (with "nosniff" value) prevents IE and Chrome from ignoring the content-type of a response. This action may prevent untrusted content (e.g. user uploaded content) from being executed on the user browser (after a malicious naming, for example).
Solution provided by LGMS :
Configure the application server to send the "X-Content-Type-Options" header with value "nosniff" on all outgoing requests.
