By default, APIs do not restrict/limit the HTTP Verbs/Methods by which they can be accessed. In rare occasions, depending on how secure the server was or is setup, a sophisticated attacker may be able to use HEAD to leak information/secrets on the server.

API developers should ensure that APIs they build can only be accessed by the prescribed and specified HTTP verbs. All other verbs should not be permitted.
