Is Webflow vulnerable to clickjacking?

No, Webflow is not vulnerable to clickjacking. Clickjacking is a type of malicious attack where an attacker attempts to trick users into clicking on a hidden element on a web page, disguised as something else. This can be achieved by overlaying an invisible layer on top of the legitimate page and making it appear as if the user is clicking on a different element.

Webflow mitigates clickjacking attacks through the implementation of the X-Frame-Options HTTP header. This header allows site owners to define if and how their site can be embedded within an iframe on another domain. By default, Webflow sets the X-Frame-Options header to "SAMEORIGIN", which indicates that the page can only be framed by other pages from the same domain. This prevents clickjacking attacks by restricting the ability to load the Webflow site within an iframe on a different domain.

Additionally, Webflow provides the option to set a custom X-Frame-Options header for advanced users who require more granular control over framing. Users can utilize this feature to set the header value to "DENY", which completely disallows framing of the page by any other domain.

In summary, Webflow takes measures to protect against clickjacking attacks by implementing the X-Frame-Options header, preventing the site from being framed by different domains and ensuring the security of user interactions.
