Missing content-type restriction
Observed evidence
Before: X-Content-Type-Options absent After: X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff Check: headers.nosniff Input: controlled response fixture Method: deterministic HTTP header inspection
Impact and limitations
Browsers may infer a content type when responses are ambiguous. Applicability depends on content handling and the application. This observation does not prove an exploitable vulnerability.
Remediation
Send X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff with accurate content types. Test application compatibility.
Retest
The same deterministic check returns PASS when the fixture supplies the expected header. Missing coverage would remain unassessed, not marked fixed.

Where a human is mandatory
A cross-tenant authorization candidate or a wallet-signing critical candidate cannot be confirmed by this sample flow. Required H2/W3 reviewers must be assigned, onboarded and approve the exact build.
