Details
[edit]Disallow framing of API pages directly, by setting the X-Frame-Options header. Since the API returns CSRF tokens, allowing the results to be framed can compromise your user's account security.
Options are:
'DENY'- Do not allow framing. This is recommended for most wikis.
'SAMEORIGIN'- Allow framing by pages on the same domain. This can be used to allow framing within a trusted origin. This is insecure if there is a page on the same origin that allows framing of arbitrary URLs.
false- Allow all framing. This opens up the wiki to XSS attacks and thus full compromise of local user accounts. Private wikis behind a corporate firewall are especially vulnerable. This is not recommended.
