| − | ==Overview==
| |
| − | | |
| − | [[Clickjacking]] is an attack that tricks users by showing them an innocuous page but including the real controls from sensitive pages. These controls are disguised through the use of background frames that mask off everything except the control, so that the user can't tell that they are actually clicking on a sensitive function in some other website. | |
| − | | |
| − | How can web applications protect their users from this attack? The typical defense to clickjacking is to prevent your pages from being framed. The typical approach to this is to include a "frame-breaker" script in every page that ensures that the content is not framed. Here's an example of such a script courtesy of Giorgio Maone.
| |
| − | | |
| − | <pre>
| |
| − | <script>
| |
| − | try { if (top.location.host != self.location.host) throw "x";
| |
| − | } catch(e) { window.open(location.protocol + "://" + location.host, "_top") }
| |
| − | </script>
| |
| − | </pre>
| |
| − | | |
| − | However, there's an alternative approach that may be simpler to implement. Microsoft has now included a [http://blogs.msdn.com/ie/archive/2009/01/27/ie8-security-part-vii-clickjacking-defenses.aspx defense] in IE8 that allows developers to specify that pages should not be framed. They use a new (nonstandard) X-FRAME-OPTIONS header to mark responses that shouldn't be framed. There are two options with X-FRAME-OPTIONS. The first is DENY, which prevents everyone from framing the content. The other option is SAMEORIGIN, which only allows the current site to frame the content. Currently this works in IE8 RC1+, but will not affect users of other browsers until they decide to implement this feature. Firefox users may want to look at the protection in NoScript.

| − | | |
| − | ==Approach==
| |
| − | | |
| − | We'd like to add the X-FRAME-OPTIONS header to any pages that shouldn't be framed. So we could go into every servlet and JSP and add one of the two following lines of code:
| |
| − | | |
| − | // to prevent all framing of this content
| |
| − | response.addHeader( "X-FRAME-OPTIONS", "DENY" );
| |
| − |
| |
| − | // to allow framing of this content only by this site
| |
| − | response.addHeader( "X-FRAME-OPTIONS", "SAMEORIGIN" );
| |
| − | | |
| − | However, this seems a bit intrusive and a lot of work. In this article, we'll implement a simple JavaEE filter to add the X-FRAME-OPTIONS header to some or all parts of your application.

| |
| − | | |
| − | ==Setup==
| |
| − | | |
| − | The first step is to add the filter to our application. All we have to do is put the ClickjackFilter class on our application's classpath, probably by putting it in the classes folder in WEB-INF. The class file should be in a folder structure that matches the package (org -> owasp -> filters -> ClickjackFilter). You can extract the class file from the zip file.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Then we just have to add the following filter definition and mapping to our web.xml. You should paste this in right above your servlet definitions. You should set up the mapping so it applies to '''any''' page that shouldn't be framed. Using /* will apply it to everything.

| − | There are not many dependencies here, just the standard Java EE environment. You can compile with:
| |
| − | | |
| − | javac -classpath servlet-api.jar -d . *.java
| |
| − | | |
| − | Then just copy the 'org' folder that gets created to the WEB-INF/classes folder in your application. You could also jar it up and put it in the lib directory.
| |
| − | | |
| − | ==Testing==
| |
| − | | |
| − | First, you'll need IE8 RC1+. I downloaded a free VHD of IE8 beta from [http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=21EABB90-958F-4B64-B5F1-73D0A413C8EF&displaylang=en Microsoft] and then did a Windows Update to IE8 RC1. You'll need to install the free [http://www.microsoft.com/windows/products/winfamily/virtualpc/default.mspx VirtualPC] to run this.
| |
| − | | |
| − | There's a very simple test case in the WebContent directory of the zip file. It has one page with the text "unframeable content" and another page that opens the first page in a frame. When you set the filter to DENY in web.xml, the page shows an error message that the content cannot be viewed in a frame. When you set it to SAMEORIGIN, the content is allowed.
