Clickjacking prevention using X Frame Options and J2EE Filter


1. What is Clickjacking.
It is also known as User Interface redress attack, UI redress attack, UI redressing
It is a malicious technique of tricking a Web user into clicking on something different from what the user perceives they are clicking on, thus potentially revealing confidential information or taking control of their computer while clicking on seemingly innocuous web pages. It is a browser security issue that is a vulnerability across a variety of browsers and platforms
2. How to prevent Clickjacking using Filter in java
Below example shows how Clickjacking will happens and how we can prevent the same.

Here I have created a Simple LoginServlet , after successful login, page will be redirected to success page.
Everyone knows how to create servlet and deploy the same. But still I am writing here to understand who have no idea how to create.
Step 1: Start eclipse
Step2: create a Dynamic Web Project -> clickjacking_prevention
Step3: first we need to create a login.jsp page, under Webcontent of the project
<%@ page language="java" contentType="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1"
    pageEncoding="ISO-8859-1"%>




Login page


    
User Name
Password
Step 4: Need to create a success page
<%@ page language="java" contentType="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1"
    pageEncoding="ISO-8859-1"%>




Login Success


    
Login Successful
You can construct page as you like

Step 5: Now we need to create a LoginServlet
package com.siva;

import java.io.IOException;

import javax.servlet.ServletException;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse;

public class LoginServlet extends HttpServlet{

 /**
  * 
  */
 private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;

 public void doPost(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)
   throws ServletException, IOException {

  String username = request.getParameter("username");
  String password = request.getParameter("password");
  if("siva".equalsIgnoreCase(username)&& "raju".equalsIgnoreCase(password)){
   System.out.println("inside if condition");
   response.sendRedirect("loginSuccess.jsp");
  }
 }
}
Step 6: Now we need to do Configuration in web.xml for LoginServlet



  clickjacking_prevention
  
    login.jsp
   
  
    
  
    LoginServlet
    com.siva.LoginServlet
  
  
   LoginServlet
   /loginServlet
  

Step 7: Once this configuration done, Now we can run the project using any of the servers like Apache tomcat or Jboss.
You can use the http://localhost:8080/clickjacking_prevention/




It will open page like above and you can enter username as siva and password as raju, then submit,
You can redirected to loginSuccess page



Create a html file and provide name as you like and paste the below code.


  click jaking








Once we run this html file we can see the same data which is showed in the loginSuccess page


Step 10 : Now we can see the difference between above two images. One is url page and one is iframe constructed page, both are same.
So hacker can use this , and patch in your actual site and steal the data.
Now How to prevent this.
We need to add this code in our filter or jsp page.
response.addHeader("X-FRAME-OPTIONS", “DENY” );
Here I have written Filter to overcome clickjacking
package com.siva;

import java.io.IOException;

import javax.servlet.Filter;
import javax.servlet.FilterChain;
import javax.servlet.FilterConfig;
import javax.servlet.ServletException;
import javax.servlet.ServletRequest;
import javax.servlet.ServletResponse;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse;



public class ClickjackingPreventionFilter implements Filter 
{
  private String mode = "DENY";
  
// Add X-FRAME-OPTIONS response header to tell any other browsers who   not to display this //content in a frame.
     public void doFilter(ServletRequest request, ServletResponse response, FilterChain chain) throws IOException, ServletException {
         HttpServletResponse res = (HttpServletResponse)response;
         res.addHeader("X-FRAME-OPTIONS", mode );   
         chain.doFilter(request, response);
     }
     public void destroy() {
     }
     
     public void init(FilterConfig filterConfig) {
         String configMode = filterConfig.getInitParameter("mode");
         if ( configMode != null ) {
             mode = configMode;
         }
     }
}


Step 11: Once Filter has completed now we need to add same filter configuration in web.xml file

        ClickjackPreventionFilterDeny
        com.siva.ClickjackingPreventionFilter
        
            modeDENY
    
    
    
     
        ClickjackPreventionFilterDeny
        /*
    

Once we have done configuration , you can run the same Iframe example again, you can see the below page without any content, it will show warning in IE and it will not show any details in other browser.



This is how we can prevent the clickjacking attacks.
