Kingdom: Encapsulation

Encapsulation is about drawing strong boundaries. In a web browser that might mean ensuring that your mobile code cannot be abused by other mobile code. On the server it might mean differentiation between validated data and unvalidated data, between one user's data and another's, or between data users are allowed to see and data that they are not.

HTML5: Missing Framing Protection

Java/JSP

Abstract

The application does not restrict browsers from letting third-party sites render its content.

Explanation

Allowing your website to be added to a frame can be a security issue. For example, it may lead to clickjacking vulnerabilities or allow undesired cross-frame communications.

By default, frameworks such as Spring Security include the X-Frame-Options header to instruct the browser whether the application should be framed. Disabling or not setting this header can lead to cross-frame related vulnerabilities.

Example 1: The following code configures a Spring Security protected application to disable the X-Frame-Options header:


	<http auto-config="true">
        ...
        <headers>
            ...
            <frame-options disabled="true"/>
        </headers>
	</http>
