Shodan matched these CVEs against the service banners it saw on 216.150.156.74 (ucc.westcon.com), which advertise http server 2.4.6. These are version-fingerprint matches, not confirmed exploits: a distribution may have back-ported the fix while leaving the banner unchanged. Severity reflects the volume of known issues associated with this host, not a CVSS score. CVE-2026-44631 CVE-2026-44186 CVE-2026-44185 CVE-2026-44119 CVE-2026-43951 CVE-2026-42536 CVE-2026-42535 CVE-2026-34356 CVE-2026-34355 CVE-2026-34059 CVE-2026-34032 CVE-2026-33857 CVE-2026-33523 CVE-2026-33007 CVE-2026-33006 ...and 104 more
What to do
Confirm the running versions on 216.150.156.74 and compare them against the current security release for each package before treating any single CVE as live.

216.150.156.74 (ucc.westcon.com) reports http server 2.4.6. Publishing precise versions lets anyone match the host against a CVE feed without probing it, which is how targets get shortlisted for mass exploitation after a new advisory lands.
What to do
Suppress version tokens in server banners (for example `ServerTokens Prod` in Apache) and keep the packages current.
asset: 216.150.156.74
Without HSTS the browser will still try http:// first on a fresh visit, which is the window an on-path attacker uses.
What to do
Send `Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains` once you are sure everything works over HTTPS.

CSP is the main defence that limits what an injected script can do. Without it, any XSS bug is fully exploitable.
What to do
Start with a report-only policy, tighten it against the reports, then enforce.

vps-uat.westcon.com appears in Certificate Transparency logs. Names like this usually front staging, admin, or internal tooling, which tends to be patched later and monitored less than production.
What to do
Confirm this host is meant to be public. If not, put it behind SSO or an allow-list.
asset: vps-uat.westcon.com
Lets browsers guess content types, which turns some upload and text endpoints into script injection points.
What to do
Send `X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff` on every response.
asset: https://westcon.com/
Answers for this domain are not signed, so a resolver cannot tell a forged response from a real one.
What to do
Enable DNSSEC at your DNS host and publish the DS record at the registrar.
asset: westcon.com
Mail to this domain can be downgraded to plaintext by an on-path attacker, because senders have no way to know TLS is required.
What to do
Publish an MTA-STS policy (a TXT record plus a small HTTPS-hosted file).
asset: westcon.com
Any public certificate authority may issue certificates for this domain. CAA lets you name the ones allowed to.
What to do
Add a CAA record naming your CA, e.g. `0 issue "letsencrypt.org"`.
