IIST-SV-000138 - Directory Browsing on the IIS 10.0 web server must be disabled.

Information

Directory browsing allows the contents of a directory to be displayed upon request from a web client.

If directory browsing is enabled, the risk of inadvertently disclosing sensitive content is increased.

Solution

Open the IIS 10.0 Manager.

Click the IIS 10.0 web server name.

Double-click the 'Directory Browsing' icon.

Under the 'Actions' pane click 'Disabled'.

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