What it is

🚨 A clever clickjacking vulnerability lets an attacker manipulate your API Gateway interface with nothing more than network access! 🔥 Think of this like a sneaky magician performing a trick that makes you believe you’re pressing a button on your favorite app, while they're actually pulling the strings behind the curtain. It's a setup where you think you've made a choice, but the magician has rigged the show! An attacker could launch a clickjacking attack without any human interaction from the target — imagine them remotely tricking your users into performing actions while they think they’re controlling the interface. This could lead to unauthorized access, data exposure, or even system compromise, making it a critical threat!
