A new variation of clickjacking attacks called "DoubleClickjacking" lets attackers trick users into authorizing sensitive actions using double-clicks while bypassing existing protections against these types of attacks.
Clickjacking, also known as UI redressing, is when threat actors create malicious web pages that trick visitors into clicking on hidden or disguised webpage elements.
“Clickjacking” attacks have been around for over a decade, enabling malicious websites to trick users into clicking hidden or disguised buttons they never intended to click . This technique is becoming less practical as modern browsers set all cookies to “SameSite: Lax” by default. Even if an attacker site can frame another website, the framed site would be unauthenticated, because cross-site cookies are not sent. This significantly reduces the risk of successful clickjacking attacks, as most interesting functionality on websites typically requires authentication.
