Problem Note 62207: The query web server in SAS® Information Retrieval Studio allows HTTP TRACE method requests
 |  |  |  |
Severity: Low
Description: The SAS Information Retrieval Studio query web server, which by default listens on port 10761, allows HTTP TRACE method requests.
Potential Impact: An attacker might be able to view sensitive diagnostic information.
To work around this problem, you need to disable the query web server. You can disable this server because it is not required for SAS Information Retrieval Studio to function.
To disable the query web server, complete these steps:
- Navigate to the SAS-configuration-directory/Lev1/Applications/SASInformationRetrievalStudioforSAS/bin directory.
- From a command prompt, issue the following command:
python information-retrieval-studio-client.py --stop-query-web-server
