No nosniff header

What it means

Without X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff, browsers may guess content types and execute files that were never meant to be scripts.

Why it matters

MIME-sniffing turns harmless uploads into an XSS vector.

How to fix it

Send X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff on every response — one line of hosting config.
