Public-Key-Pins Header is Set

Impact: Informational

Description

The HTTP Public-Key-Pins response header used to associate a specific cryptographic public key with a certain web server to decrease the risk of MITM attacks with forged certificates. However, it has been removed from modern browsers and is no longer supported. Use Certificate Transparency and Expect-CT header instead. Mozilla

Recommendation

Consider removing the Public-Key-Pins header and using the Expect-CT header.
