NetBox version

v3.2.6

Feature type

Change to existing functionality

Proposed functionality

Hide the NetBox version string from the login page footer or provide a flag to enable or disable the feature.

Use case

My organization is very strict when it comes to security and we tend to apply policies which greatly reduce unnecessary risks. The version string on the login footer exposes the NetBox version running and a hacker may use this information to find vulnerabilities or exploit a known bug.

Database changes

None

External dependencies

None

@jeremystretch That issue is closed and I'm unable to even give thumbs up to it. Maybe open it so that someone can take it up to submit a PR
