Impact
uxlfoundation.org website is a static landing page, features a clean, minimalist layout with basic information about the foundation, some useful links to specifications, github repositories, videos, etc. It leverages GitHub Pages as a hosting engine. UXL landing page is considered low risk by default because of:
- No user interactions
- Static Content with no logins or databases
- No external integrations with 3rd parties such as APIs
Clickjacking, also known as a User Interface (UI) redress attack, is a vulnerability where a web user is tricked into clicking on something different from what they perceive, potentially revealing confidential information or taking control of their computer. This vulnerability affects the web server at https://uxlfoundation.org/ and can potentially lead to cross-site request forgery (CSRF) attacks, where malicious sites can interact with functions on other websites.
Patches
Although enabling Content Security Policy (CSPs) for the website would be the default mitigation approach, GitHub Pages doesn't support such a configuration. Thus, alternative mitigation was applied, resulting in enforced Content Security Policy is now part of website loading. No specific actions required from users.
