== Sensitive Code Example

In Express.js application the code is sensitive if the https://www.npmjs.com/package/dns-prefetch-control[dns-prefetch-control] middleware is disabled or used without the recommended value:

----
const express = require('express');
const helmet = require('helmet');

let app = express();

app.use(
  helmet.dnsPrefetchControl({
    allow: true // Sensitive: allowing DNS prefetching is security-sensitive
  })
);
----

== Compliant Solution

In Express.js application the https://www.npmjs.com/package/dns-prefetch-control[dns-prefetch-control] or https://www.npmjs.com/package/helmet[helmet] middleware is the standard way to implement  ``++X-DNS-Prefetch-Control++`` header:

----
const express = require('express');
const helmet = require('helmet');

let app = express();

app.use(
  helmet.dnsPrefetchControl({
    allow: false // Compliant
  })
);
