ruinivist 10ee988ce2 feat: add http security headers to caddy config

MIME-type sniffing.

## 2024-06-06 - Missing HTTP Security Headers
**Vulnerability:** The Caddyfile configuration was missing standard HTTP security headers (X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options, Referrer-Policy), leaving the application susceptible to clickjacking, MIME-type sniffing, and sensitive data leakage via referrers.
**Learning:** The application relies on Caddy as a reverse proxy, and by default, Caddy doesn't automatically add these specific security headers unless explicitly configured.
**Prevention:** Ensure that reverse proxy configurations in new projects or updates to existing ones explicitly include essential HTTP security headers in a global scope to protect all served content.
## 2025-02-28 - Caddy HTTP Security Headers Configuration
**Vulnerability:** The application was missing basic security headers (X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options, Referrer-Policy), increasing exposure to clickjacking and MIME-sniffing attacks.
**Learning:** Security posture isn't just about application-level code. The reverse proxy (Caddy) configuration serves as the first line of defense and is the correct layer to enforce global HTTP response headers.
**Prevention:** Always verify that the reverse proxy layer enforces foundational HTTP security headers instead of relying solely on the application code to handle response security.
