How To Prevent Clickjacking in React Js

Clickjacking is an attack where a target website is hidden in an iframe underneath other content to trick users into clicking something unintentionally. In React, clickjacking can be prevented by setting the X-Frame-Options header to SAMEORIGIN, only allowing embedding from the same domain, or by setting a Content Security Policy with frame-ancestors set to none to prohibit all iframe embedding. Combining these techniques can effectively protect a React website from clickjacking attacks.

Clickjacking is an attack method in which the attacker disguises the target website under a transparent
iframe, and places another website or malicious code on top of the iframe, causing the user to click on
the iframe without knowing it. Content that appears innocuous, but actually triggers malicious actions. In
React.js, you can prevent clickjacking attacks by:

1. Use X-Frame-Options: By setting the HTTP response header X-Frame-Options, you can prevent your
website from being embedded in other websites, thereby preventing clickjacking attacks. For
example:

The above code will set X-Frame-Options to SAMEORIGIN, which means that only websites under the
same domain name can embed your website.

2. Use CSP: A Content Security Policy (CSP) is a security policy that specifies which origins can load
resources. By setting CSP, you can limit the origin of the iframe that can be loaded in the page,
thereby preventing clickjacking attacks. For example:

The above code will set frame-ancestors to none, which means that all origins are prohibited from
loading the iframe.
licking. For example:

The Shake component in the above code shakes the page when the user clicks the button.

Through the above measures, you can effectively prevent clickjacking attacks. Please note that in
practical applications, you need to choose the appropriate method to protect your website according to
the specific situation.
