>                 Key: SPARK-23983
>                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-23983
>             Project: Spark
>          Issue Type: Improvement
>          Components: Web UI
>    Affects Versions: 2.3.0
>            Reporter: Taylor Cressy
>            Priority: Minor
>              Labels: UI, bulk-closed

> We should introduce a configuration for the spark UI to omit X-Frame-Options from the response headers if explicitly set.
> The X-Frame-Options header was introduced in *org.apache.spark.ui.JettyUtils* to prevent frame-related click-jacking vulnerabilities. This was addressed in: SPARK-10589
>  
> {code:java}
> val allowFramingFrom = conf.getOption("spark.ui.allowFramingFrom")
> val xFrameOptionsValue =
>    allowFramingFrom.map(uri => s"ALLOW-FROM $uri").getOrElse("SAMEORIGIN")
> ...
> // In doGet
> response.setHeader("X-Frame-Options", xFrameOptionsValue)
> {code}
>  
> The problem with this, is that we only allow the same origin or a singular host to present the UI with iframes. I propose we add a configuration that turns this off.
>  
> Use Case: Currently building a "portal UI" for all things related to a cluster. Embedding the spark UI in the portal is necessary because the cluster is in the cloud and can only be accessed via an SSH tunnel - as intended. (The reverse proxy configuration {{*_spark.ui.reverseProxy_* could be used to simplify connecting to all the workers}}, but this doesn't solve handling multiple, unrelated, UIs through a single tunnel.
>  
> Moreover, the host that our "portal UI" would reside on is not assigned a hostname and has an ephemeral IP address, so the *ALLOW-FROM* directive isn't useful in this case.
>  
> Lastly, the current design does not allow for different hosts to be configured, i.e. *_spark.ui.allowFramingFrom_* _*hostname1,hostname2*_ is not a valid config.
>  
> An alternative option would be to explore Content-Security-Policy: [https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Headers/Content-Security-Policy#frame-ancestors]
