Error description

  • PROBLEM:
    
    Pages on the application are allowed to be captured within a
    frame from another server. This can be exploited by
    attackers by sending a forged link to a user. The link will be
    to a malicious page with this application captured in a
    frame. All activity by the user can be monitored and
    recorded by the attacker allowing the compromise of the
    username, password, or any other sensitive input the user
    enters.
    
    Earlier versions of Cross Frame scripting could be prevented
    by a frame busting script like the following. However, the
    new variations of the finding are able to frame the page even
    when the following fix is applied making the following
    script insufficient.
    
    <script LANGUAGE="JAVASCRIPT">
    if(top != self)
    {
    top.location=self.location;
    }
    </script>
    
    A page vulnerable to XFSv2 also leads to other
    vulnerabilities such as clickjacking. Clickjacking takes the
    form of embedded code or script that can execute without the
    user's knowledge, such as clicking on a button that appears
    to perform another function. For more on clickjacking,
