             Summary: Http server vulnerable to clickjacking 
                 Key: HADOOP-12964
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-12964
             Project: Hadoop Common
          Issue Type: Bug
            Reporter: Haibo Chen
            Assignee: Haibo Chen


Nessus report shows a medium level issue that "Web Application Potentially 
Vulnerable to Clickjacking" with the 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"

We could add X-Frame-Options, supported in all major browsers, in the Http 
response header to mitigate the issue.
