bakkerl · 2018-02-26T19:13:15Z

Steps to reproduce

Install nextcloud, latest version 13.0.0.0
Configure apache to have 'X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN' set as header
View the admin settting. Admin page will give X-Frame-Options error: "The "X-Frame-Options" HTTP header is not set to "SAMEORIGIN". This is a potential security or privacy risk, as it is recommended to adjust this setting accordingly."
https://scan.nextcloud.com resports green on "X-Frame-Options" result.
Make sure Chrome developtools shows "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN" in header.

Expected behaviour

No warning message about X-Frame-Options

Actual behaviour

Admin page will give X-Frame-Options error: "The "X-Frame-Options" HTTP header is not set to "SAMEORIGIN". This is a potential security or privacy risk, as it is recommended to adjust this setting accordingly."

Configure apache to have 'X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN' set as header

This should not be set in the web server, because we also set it in PHP - see #8207 for the full discussion about detecting this. As of now you should just remove it from the web server config and all should be fine. We are looking into detecting if it is set by the web server and then disable the PHP code for this.

Hello, If i remove it from the apache config, then it doesn't show in Chrome developer consonsole and scan.nextcloud.com fails on the X-Frame-Options options. So if the solution is to remove it from apache/webserver config, i need to create a new bug, because the header isnit added by nextcloud itself.

It seems like modHeadersAvailable is not recognized for the X-Frame-Options header. Deactivating it in the server's settings, let's all kinds of header errors pop up again. Reactivating it again and the errors go away except for the X-Frame-Options problem.

Also the header is in the response of the server, but it's still shown as a problem on the scan.nextcloud.com website. Which is weird. I know for a fact that my webserver always servers its headers...

I guess that's caused by the header showing up multiple times?

kesselb · 2018-11-16T17:07:02Z

If the header is defined by nginx.conf remove it.

Grimeton · 2018-11-16T17:36:45Z

@danielkesselberg been there. done that. doesn't change a thing.

kesselb · 2018-11-16T17:44:16Z

Hmm. We usually use the forum for configuration issues. It sounds like that somehow. If you think this is a software issue I would like to ask you to open a new issue because this one is closed. Thank you!

Nextcloud 15.0.2
I get the message: The "X-Frame-Options" HTTP header is not set to "SAMEORIGIN"
I tried to set it into apache (Apache/2.4.25 (Debian)):

<IfModule mod_headers.c>
  Header always set Strict-Transport-Security "max-age=63072000; includeSubDomains"
  Header set X-Frame-Options "SAMEORIGIN"
</IfModule>

It did not change anything???
Any clue???

Mine is Nginx, and I am running NC 14, the same reminder appeared recently while it didn't for a long time since I upgraded to NC 14.

My Nginx ver is 1.14.2

See #8207 for more details and possible workarounds.

server/lib/private/legacy/response.php

Line 97 in 554c78c

header('X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN'); // Disallow iFraming from other domains

X-Frame-Options is added to every request by nextcloud. There are several ways to fix this:

Don't set X-Frame-Options in your webserver configuration.
If you want to keep it in your webserver configuration. Nginx: proxy_hide_header X-Frame-Options; suppress header. Apache2: Header always set X-Frame-Options "SAMEORIGIN" overwrite header.
