[[servlet-headers]]
= Security HTTP Response Headers

xref:features/exploits/headers.adoc#headers[Security HTTP Response Headers] can be used to increase the security of web applications.
This section is dedicated to servlet based support for Security HTTP Response Headers.

[[servlet-headers-default]]
== Default Security Headers

Spring Security provides a xref:features/exploits/headers.adoc#headers-default[default set of Security HTTP Response Headers] to provide secure defaults.
While each of these headers are considered best practice, it should be noted that not all clients utilize the headers, so additional testing is encouraged.

You can customize specific headers.
For example, assume that you want the defaults except you wish to specify `SAMEORIGIN` for <<servlet-headers-frame-options,X-Frame-Options>>.

You can easily do this with the following Configuration:

.Customize Default Security Headers
[tabs]
======
Java::
+
[source,java,role="primary"]
----
@EnableWebSecurity
public class WebSecurityConfig extends
		WebSecurityConfigurerAdapter {

	@Override
	protected void configure(HttpSecurity http) {
		http
			// ...
			.headers(headers -> headers
				.frameOptions(frameOptions -> frameOptions
					.sameOrigin()
				)
			);
	}
}
----

XML::
+
[source,xml,role="secondary"]
----
<http>
	<!-- ... -->

	<headers>
		<frame-options policy="SAMEORIGIN" />
	</headers>
</http>
----

Kotlin::
+
[source,kotlin,role="secondary"]
----
@EnableWebSecurity
class SecurityConfig : WebSecurityConfigurerAdapter() {
    override fun configure(http: HttpSecurity) {
        http {
            // ...
            headers {
                frameOptions {
                    sameOrigin = true
                }
            }
        }
    }
}
----
======

If you do not want the defaults to be added and want explicit control over what should be used, you can disable the defaults.
An example is provided below:

If you are using Spring Security's Configuration the following will only add xref:features/exploits/headers.adoc#headers-cache-control[Cache Control].

	}

                }
            }

    }
}
----

[[servlet-headers-cache-control]]
== Cache Control

Spring Security includes xref:features/exploits/headers.adoc#headers-cache-control[Cache Control] headers by default.

However, if you actually want to cache specific responses, your application can selectively invoke https://docs.oracle.com/javaee/6/api/javax/servlet/http/HttpServletResponse.html#setHeader(java.lang.String,java.lang.String)[HttpServletResponse.setHeader(String,String)] to override the header set by Spring Security.
This is useful to ensure things like CSS, JavaScript, and images are properly cached.

When using Spring Web MVC, this is typically done within your configuration.
Details on how to do this can be found in the https://docs.spring.io/spring/docs/5.0.0.RELEASE/spring-framework-reference/web.html#mvc-config-static-resources[Static Resources] portion of the Spring Reference documentation

If necessary, you can also disable Spring Security's cache control HTTP response headers.

            }
        }
    }
}
----
======

[[servlet-headers-content-type-options]]
== Content Type Options

Spring Security includes xref:features/exploits/headers.adoc#headers-content-type-options[Content-Type] headers by default.
However, you can disable it with:

.Content Type Options Disabled
[tabs]
======
Java::
+

    }
}
----
======

[[servlet-headers-hsts]]
== HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS)

Spring Security provides the xref:features/exploits/headers.adoc#headers-hsts[Strict Transport Security] header by default.
However, you can customize the results explicitly.
For example, the following is an example of explicitly providing HSTS:

.Strict Transport Security
[tabs]

Java::
+
[source,java,role="primary"]
----
@EnableWebSecurity

					.includeSubDomains(true)

					.maxAgeInSeconds(31536000)
				)
			);
	}
}
----

XML::

<http>
	<!-- ... -->

	<headers>
		<hsts

----

Kotlin::

@EnableWebSecurity
class SecurityConfig : WebSecurityConfigurerAdapter() {

    override fun configure(http: HttpSecurity) {
        http {
            headers {
                httpStrictTransportSecurity {
                    includeSubDomains = true
                    preload = true
                    maxAgeInSeconds = 31536000
                }
            }
        }
    }
}
----
======

[[servlet-headers-hpkp]]
== HTTP Public Key Pinning (HPKP)
For passivity reasons, Spring Security provides servlet support for xref:features/exploits/headers.adoc#headers-hpkp[HTTP Public Key Pinning] but it is xref:features/exploits/headers.adoc#headers-hpkp-deprecated[no longer recommended].

You can enable HPKP headers with the following Configuration:

.HTTP Public Key Pinning
[tabs]
======
Java::
+
[source,java,role="primary"]

@EnableWebSecurity

            }
        }
    }
}
----
======

[[servlet-headers-frame-options]]
== X-Frame-Options

By default, Spring Security disables rendering within an iframe using xref:features/exploits/headers.adoc#headers-frame-options[X-Frame-Options].

You can customize frame options to use the same origin within a Configuration using the following:

.X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN
[tabs]
======
Java::
+
[source,java,role="primary"]
----
@EnableWebSecurity
public class WebSecurityConfig extends
WebSecurityConfigurerAdapter {

	@Override
	protected void configure(HttpSecurity http) throws Exception {
		http
			// ...
			.headers(headers -> headers
				.frameOptions(frameOptions -> frameOptions
					.sameOrigin()
				)
			);
	}
}
----

XML::

[source,xml,role="secondary"]

<http>
	<!-- ... -->

	<headers>

    override fun configure(http: HttpSecurity) {
        http {
            headers {
                frameOptions {
                    sameOrigin = true
                }
            }
        }
    }
}
----
======

[[servlet-headers-xss-protection]]
== X-XSS-Protection

By default, Spring Security instructs browsers to block reflected XSS attacks using the <<headers-xss-protection,X-XSS-Protection header>.
However, you can change this default.
For example, the following Configuration specifies that Spring Security should no longer instruct browsers to block the content:

.X-XSS-Protection Customization

    }
}
----
======

[[servlet-headers-csp]]
== Content Security Policy (CSP)

Spring Security does not add xref:features/exploits/headers.adoc#headers-csp[Content Security Policy] by default, because a reasonable default is impossible to know without context of the application.
The web application author must declare the security policy(s) to enforce and/or monitor for the protected resources.

For example, given the following security policy:

.Content Security Policy Example
[source,http]
----
Content-Security-Policy: script-src 'self' https://trustedscripts.example.com; object-src https://trustedplugins.example.com; report-uri /csp-report-endpoint/
----

You can enable the CSP header as shown below:

[[servlet-headers-custom]]

Spring Security has mechanisms to make it convenient to add the more common security headers to your application.
However, it also provides hooks to enable adding custom headers.

[[servlet-headers-static]]

There may be times you wish to inject custom security headers into your application that are not supported out of the box.
For example, given the following custom security header:

[[servlet-headers-writer]]
=== Headers Writer
When the namespace or Java configuration does not support the headers you want, you can create a custom `HeadersWriter` instance or even provide a custom implementation of the `HeadersWriter`.

Let's take a look at an example of using an custom instance of `XFrameOptionsHeaderWriter`.
If you wanted to explicitly configure <<servlet-headers-frame-options>> it could be done with the following Configuration:

[[headers-delegatingrequestmatcherheaderwriter]]
=== DelegatingRequestMatcherHeaderWriter

At times you may want to only write a header for certain requests.
For example, perhaps you want to only protect your log in page from being framed.
You could use the `DelegatingRequestMatcherHeaderWriter` to do so.

An example of using `DelegatingRequestMatcherHeaderWriter` in Java Configuration can be seen below:

		DelegatingRequestMatcherHeaderWriter headerWriter =
			new DelegatingRequestMatcherHeaderWriter(matcher,new XFrameOptionsHeaderWriter());
		http
			// ...
			.headers(headers -> headers
				.frameOptions(frameOptions -> frameOptions.disable())
				.addHeaderWriter(headerWriter)
			);
