You may need to bump the CAS security filter to the latest version, and use 
filters it provides to set that option. Later CAS versions I suspect do that 
already by default.

Subject:  [cas-user] CAS 4.1.X Cross-Frame Scripting/Clickjacking prevention?  

Hi,

We are running CAS 4.1.9 overlay. Our security team, after app scanning, has 
reported that CAS has a security vulnerability:  Cross-frame scripting which 
allows clickjacking.  Basically, CAS allows itself to be framed in another app. 
 

If I understand it correctly, an attacker will use iframe to frame the login 
page, overlay the UI elements on Login form. User types in user credential and 
click on Login, but, the credential is submitted first to attacker's server, 
then, the form is submitted again to CAS server. User gets in, he won't see 
difference, but the attacker already has user credentials. 

Their solution is to X-Frame-Option header on web server, that is quite simple, 
no code change.

Is this a vulnerability? It sounds so to me. 

is there a list of things that we need to do in order secure CAS?  I did not 
see any mention of this on CAS Security Guide page. 

Thanks,
Yan
