Whitelist based Clickjacking Framing Protection in Enterprise Portal, SAP security note 2169722

SAP Note 2169722

SAP security note 2169722, "Whitelist based Clickjacking Framing Protection in Enterprise Portal", is a note. Below are the symptom, SAP recommended solution and the affected software components.

Description

Symptom

Enterprise Portal does not protect its applications against Clickjacking attacks.

Solution

Standard protection measures against Clickjacking (X-FRAME-OPTIONS header) are not suitable for common NetWeaver integration scenarios.

Therefore, SAP is providing a whitelist-based framework for NetWeaver technologies.

This framework and its implementation are described in SAP Note 2319727.

This SAP Note provides the solution for Enterprise Portal.

Refer to the Support Package Patch Level tab and correction instructions for applying the fix.

WarningYou have to perform this manual activity separately in each system into which you transport the Note for implementation.

Reason and prerequisites

Clickjacking is an UI-redressing attack where an attacker tricks a user into clicking on something different than the user is aware of. This attack leverages standard HTML capabilities and does not exploit weaknesses in the application's code.

Further details can be found at OWASP Clickjacking.
