Overview

Security configuration for Otto applications

This class manages all security-related settings including CSRF protection, input validation, trusted proxies, and security headers. Security features are disabled by default for backward compatibility.

Examples:

Basic usage

config = Otto::Security::Config.new
config.enable_csrf_protection!
config.add_trusted_proxy('10.0.0.0/8')

Custom limits

config = Otto::Security::Config.new
config.max_request_size = 5 * 1024 * 1024  # 5MB
config.max_param_depth = 16

Instance Method Details

#add_trusted_proxy(proxy) ⇒ void

This method returns an undefined value.

Add a trusted proxy server for accurate client IP detection

Only requests from trusted proxies will have their X-Forwarded-For and similar headers honored for IP detection. This prevents IP spoofing from untrusted sources.

Examples:

Add single proxy

config.add_trusted_proxy('10.0.0.1')

Add CIDR range

config.add_trusted_proxy('192.168.0.0/16')

Add multiple proxies

config.add_trusted_proxy(['10.0.0.1', '172.16.0.0/12'])

Parameters:

  • proxy (String, Array) —

    IP address, CIDR range, or array of addresses

Raises:

  • (ArgumentError) —

    if proxy is not a String or Array

  when Array
    @trusted_proxies.concat(proxy)
  else
    raise ArgumentError, "Proxy must be a String or Array"
  end
end

#csrf_enabled? ⇒ Boolean

Check if CSRF protection is currently enabled

Returns:

  • (Boolean) —

    true if CSRF protection is enabled

# File 'lib/otto/security/config.rb', line 70

end

#enable_csp!(policy = "default-src 'self'") ⇒ void

This method returns an undefined value.

Enable Content Security Policy (CSP) header

CSP helps prevent XSS attacks by controlling which resources can be loaded. The default policy only allows resources from the same origin.

Examples:

Custom policy

config.enable_csp!("default-src 'self'; script-src 'self' 'unsafe-inline'")

Parameters:

  • policy (String) (defaults to: "default-src 'self'") —

    CSP policy string (default: “default-src ‘self’”)

# File 'lib/otto/security/config.rb', line 198

def enable_csp!(policy = "default-src 'self'")
  @security_headers['content-security-policy'] = policy
end

#enable_csrf_protection! ⇒ void

This method returns an undefined value.

Enable CSRF (Cross-Site Request Forgery) protection

When enabled, Otto will:

  • Generate CSRF tokens for safe HTTP methods (GET, HEAD, OPTIONS, TRACE)

  • Validate CSRF tokens for unsafe methods (POST, PUT, DELETE, PATCH)

  • Automatically inject CSRF meta tags into HTML responses

  • Provide helper methods for forms and AJAX requests

# File 'lib/otto/security/config.rb', line 56

def enable_csrf_protection!
  @csrf_protection = true
end

#enable_frame_protection!(option = 'SAMEORIGIN') ⇒ void

This method returns an undefined value.

Enable X-Frame-Options header to prevent clickjacking

Parameters:

  • option (String) (defaults to: 'SAMEORIGIN') —

    Frame options: ‘DENY’, ‘SAMEORIGIN’, or ‘ALLOW-FROM uri’

# File 'lib/otto/security/config.rb', line 206

def enable_frame_protection!(option = 'SAMEORIGIN')
  @security_headers['x-frame-options'] = option
end

#enable_hsts!(max_age: 31536000, include_subdomains: true) ⇒ void

This method returns an undefined value.

Enable HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) header

HSTS forces browsers to use HTTPS for all future requests to this domain. WARNING: This can make your domain inaccessible if HTTPS is not properly configured. Only enable this when you’re certain HTTPS is working correctly.

Parameters:

  • max_age (Integer) (defaults to: 31536000) —

    Maximum age in seconds (default: 1 year)

  • include_subdomains (Boolean) (defaults to: true) —

    Apply to all subdomains (default: true)
