See TryGhost/Ghost#8614 for background

in https://github.com/TryGhost/Ghost-CLI/blob/master/lib/services/nginx/files/ssl-params.conf#L12

this line:

add_header X-Frame-Options DENY;

Prevents ghost exports from working.

I'm not sure where these params came from, but they possibly need review to ensure they're not going to have other side effects.

I pulled that config from https://cipherli.st but I found one also at https://mozilla.github.io/server-side-tls/ssl-config-generator/ - the Mozilla one doesn't have the X-Frame-Options header so will look at switching to that config.

No objection to using stricter cypher rules/additional security headers. X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN would imo make the download work and still deny malicious attempts to use frames?

Don't know if anyone uses Ghost in an embedded frame though?

@acburdine with nginx config you need to consider compatibility vs security. By not including TLS1.0 you are preventing some Internet Explorer and older Android browsers from openning the page. But that may be a problem only if you don't use HSTS Just so you are aware.

I also found that the best cipher setup is following:
ssl_ciphers AES256+EECDH:AES256+EDH:!aNULL;
It will have little or no compatibility impact..

@sebgie Any input on ssl_ciphers? Right now we are using EECDH+AESGCM:EDH+AESGCM:AES256+EECDH:AES256+EDH in the CLI. There are some best practises out there, but i would like to hear your opinion.

refs TryGhost#230

- change x-frame-options from DENY to SAMEORIGIN
- SAMEORIGIN: This setting will allow the page to be displayed in a frame on the same origin as the page itself.
- background: if we deny x-frame-options, we can't export content/database

Mozillas SSL generator suggests these:

My 2cents would be following their recommendation for the best mix of client compatibility vs security!

This configuration is only vulnerable to

 BEAST (CVE-2011-3389)                     TLS1: DHE-RSA-AES256-SHA ECDHE-RSA-AES256-SHA
                                           VULNERABLE -- but also supports higher protocols (possible mitigation): TLSv1.1 TLSv1.2

and it's only vulnerable if TLSv1.1 or TLSv1.2 are not available on client side (older systems and browsers). So in my opinion current setting should be considered both secure and compatible.

All above tests were performed assuming that TLSv1, TLSv1.1 and TLSv1.2 are enabled and that 4096 dhparam is available.

@PaszaVonPomiot has posted a great overview of compatible browsers/devices. I would follow the official Mozilla recommendation and use the intermediate profile (no obv. vulnerability but good compatibility): https://mozilla.github.io/server-side-tls/ssl-config-generator/?server=nginx-1.10.1&openssl=1.0.1e&hsts=yes&profile=intermediate.

These parameters are maintained here and we can follow necessary changes on GitHub: https://github.com/mozilla/server-side-tls.
