== 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
})
);
