Message

"X-Frame-Options missing"

Explanation

It is recommended that you use the X-Frame-Options header on pages which should not be allowed to render a page in a frame. It thereby provides clickjacking protection to your site users by not allowing rendering of a page in a frame. With a clickjacking attack the attacker can hijack the clicks meant for the original server and sends them to an other server.

Modern websites should not be vulnerable to this classic web attack.

Remediation

The X-Frame-Options header is easy to implement and only requires a slight web server configuration change. For more information about implementation see the documentation on MDN.
