What it checks
The CVEs Shodan's InternetDB matched to the software versions the site's addresses announce.
Why it matters
Bots look for servers running versions with published flaws. Shodan matches by the version announced, so a server patched by its distribution can still be listed.
How to fix it
- Update the server's operating system and the software it runs.
- Look up each CVE in your distribution's security tracker, which says whether its build is fixed.
- Turn off version banners, such as nginx's server_tokens off and Apache's ServerTokens Prod.
