Research direction

Start by reviewing issue #1175, the linked meeting minute, and the security team discussion to determine the affected project website, repository, and download site. Define the required hardening headers and nonpermissive values for each accessible URL; the issue is complete when those endpoints meet the requirement and the URLs and evidence are documented.
