Understanding PCI-DSS 11.6.1

PCI-DSS 11.6.1 specifically mandates monitoring and detection of unauthorized modifications to HTTP headers and payment pages. Unauthorized alterations to HTTP headers can lead to severe vulnerabilities, including data theft, redirection attacks, and manipulation of client-server interactions.

Why PCI-DSS 11.6.1 Exists

HTTP headers manage crucial aspects of security and browser behavior. Malicious actors exploit HTTP headers by:

  • HTTP Header Injection: Manipulating headers to redirect users or exfiltrate sensitive data.
  • Unauthorized Redirects: Redirecting legitimate users to malicious sites via header manipulation.
  • Misconfigured Security Headers: Poorly configured headers exposing vulnerabilities.
