[Bug]: X-Frame-Options is obsoleted by CSP frame-ancestors and is not checked in security overview #34748
Closed as not planned
Description
⚠️ This issue respects the following points: ⚠️
- This is a bug, not a question or a configuration/webserver/proxy issue.
- This issue is not already reported on Github (I've searched it).

- I agree to follow Nextcloud's Code of Conduct.
Bug description
X-Frame-Options has been obsoleted by Content-Security-Policy's frame-ancestors directive and the security check should pass if either are present, instead of just checking X-Frame-Options. Documentation and the server scanner may also need to be updated if this change is made.
Steps to reproduce
- Set header
Content-Security-Policy: frame-ancestors 'self' https://somesite.com - Visit the server security overview page or test the server with the server scanner
- Receive warning about
X-Frame-Options
Expected behavior
Only show warning if both X-Frame-Options and Content-Security-Policy are missing, potentially encourage users to include CSP frame-ancestors instead of/and replace SAMEORIGIN.
