title: Mitigate the Risk of Clickjacking with helmet.frameguard()
challengeType: 2
---
## Description
As a reminder, this project is being built upon the following starter project on Glitch, or cloned from GitHub.
Your page could be put in a <frame>
or <iframe>
without your consent. This can result in clickjacking attacks, among other things. Clickjacking is a technique of tricking a user into interacting with a page different from what the user thinks it is. This can be obtained executing your page in a malicious context, by mean of iframing. In that context a hacker can put a hidden layer over your page. Hidden buttons can be used to run bad scripts. This middleware sets the X-Frame-Options header. It restricts who can put your site in a frame. It has three modes: DENY, SAMEORIGIN, and ALLOW-FROM.
We don’t need our app to be framed. You should use helmet.frameguard()
passing with the configuration object {action: 'deny'}
.
## Instructions
## Tests
```yml
tests:
- text: helmet.frameguard() middleware should be mounted correctly
testString: getUserInput => $.get(getUserInput('url') + '/_api/app-info').then(data => { assert.include(data.appStack, 'frameguard', 'helmet.frameguard() middleware is not mounted correctly'); }, xhr => { throw new Error(xhr.responseText); })
- text: helmet.frameguard() 'action' should be set to 'DENY'
testString: getUserInput => $.get(getUserInput('url') + '/_api/app-info').then(data => { assert.property(data.headers, 'x-frame-options'); assert.equal(data.headers['x-frame-options'], 'DENY');}, xhr => { throw new Error(xhr.responseText); })
