What is Clickjacking – Sensitive Click-Based Action Vulnerability?

Clickjacking is a type of attack in which a user is tricked into clicking on a webpage element that is either invisible or disguised as another element. Users may unknowingly download malware, view dangerous web pages, supply passwords or sensitive information, transfer money, or purchase things online as a result of this.

Clickjacking is often accomplished by displaying an invisible page or HTML element inside an iframe on top of the page that the user sees. The user believes they are clicking on the visible page, but they are actually clicking on an unseen element on the additional page that has been transposed on top of it.

The invisible page might be harmful or a genuine website that the user did not plan to see, such as a page on the user’s banking site that permits money transfers.

The clickjacking assault has various variants, including:

  • Likejacking is a method that manipulates the Facebook “Like” button, prompting people to “like” a page they did not mean to like.

  • Cursorjacking is a UI redressing technique in which the cursor for the position seen by the user is changed to another position. Cursorjacking takes use of flaws in Flash and the Firefox browser, both of which have since been patched.
