Reverse Tabnabbing
- Risk:
Medium
- Type:
- Passive
- Summary
At least one link on this page is vulnerable to Reverse tabnabbing as it uses a target attribute without using both of the “noopener” and “noreferrer” keywords in the “rel” attribute, which allows the target page to take control of this page.
- Solution
Do not use a target attribute, or if you have to then also add the attribute: rel="noopener noreferrer".
