Block Clickjacking with an Explicit Framing Policy
A sensitive web page can have sound authentication and authorization yet still be exposed through another site’s interface. If an attacker can place that page inside a transparent or disguised frame, a signed-in user may believe they are clicking one control while their click reaches a different control in the framed application. That attack class is clickjacking, also called UI redressing. The browser is doing what both pages request; the security failure is that the sensitive application allowed an untrusted page to become part of its user interface.
