Information

Directory Browsing on the IIS 10.0 website must be disabled.

GROUP ID: V-218759
RULE ID: SV-218759r961158

Directory browsing allows the contents of a directory to be displayed upon request from a web client. If directory browsing is enabled for a directory in IIS, users could receive a web page listing the contents of the directory. If directory browsing is enabled the risk of inadvertently disclosing sensitive content is increased.

Solution

Follow the procedures below for each site hosted on the IIS 10.0 web server:

Open the IIS 10.0 Manager.

Click the Site.

Double-click the 'Directory Browsing' icon.

Under the 'Actions' pane, click 'Disabled'.
