             Summary: Security issue: required to add "X-Frame-Options SAMEORIGIN" for web console
                 Key: AMQ-6113
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AMQ-6113
             Project: ActiveMQ
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: security, webconsole
         Environment: centos 6
            Reporter: Michael Furman


ActiveMQ is part of our installation.

When I run the Nessul scunner on our server it found the following vulnerability on ActiveMQ  webconsole:

Web Application Potentially Vulnerable to Clickjacking


Description
The remote web server does not set an X-Frame-Options response header in all content responses. This could potentially expose the site to a clickjacking or UI Redress attack wherein an attacker can trick a user into clicking an area of the vulnerable page that is different than what the user perceives the page to be. This can result in a user performing fraudulent or malicious transactions.

X-Frame-Options has been proposed by Microsoft as a way to mitigate clickjacking attacks and is currently supported by all major browser vendors.

Note that while the X-Frame-Options response header is not the only mitigation for clickjacking, it is currently the most reliable method to detect through automation. Therefore, this plugin may produce false positives if other mitigation strategies (e.g frame-busting JavaScript) are deployed or if the page does not perform any security-sensitive transactions.
Solution
Return the X-Frame-Options HTTP header with the page's response.

This prevents the page's content from being rendered by another site when using the frame or iframe HTML tags.
