Understanding Clickjacking in TypeScript-Based ERP

Clickjacking is a sophisticated web-based attack where malicious actors trick users into clicking on elements they can’t see or don’t recognize, such as hidden buttons or links. This can lead to unauthorized actions or data breaches. For businesses using TypeScript-based ERP systems, protecting your application from clickjacking is critical to ensuring security and trustworthiness.

In this blog, we’ll explore 7 proven methods to prevent clickjacking in TypeScript-based ERP platforms. Alongside, you’ll find coding examples, real-world scenarios, and insights to fortify your ERP system against such attacks.

What is Clickjacking?

Clickjacking occurs when a malicious site embeds your ERP application using <iframe> and overlays deceptive elements to manipulate users into performing unintended actions. For instance, a user might click what they believe is a legitimate button, but it executes a harmful action instead.

How to Prevent Clickjacking in TypeScript-Based ERP

1. Implementing X-Frame-Options Header

One of the simplest and most effective ways to prevent clickjacking is by setting the X-Frame-Options HTTP header in your application. This ensures that your website cannot be embedded in an iframe by other domains.

Here’s an example of implementing it in a TypeScript-based Node.js application:

import * as express from "express";
const app = express();

// Middleware to set X-Frame-Options
app.use((req, res, next) => {
  res.setHeader("X-Frame-Options", "DENY");
  next();
});

app.get("/", (req, res) => {
  res.send("Welcome to our TypeScript-based ERP system!");
});

app.listen(3000, () => {
  console.log("Server running on http://localhost:3000");
});

2. Using Content Security Policy (CSP)

Content Security Policy is a powerful tool to define trusted sources for embedding content.

Here’s a TypeScript example to set CSP headers:

import * as express from "express";
const app = express();

app.use((req, res, next) => {
  res.setHeader("Content-Security-Policy", "frame-ancestors 'self'");
  next();
});

app.get("/", (req, res) => {
  res.send("CSP implemented for iframe protection!");
});

app.listen(3000, () => {
  console.log("CSP enabled for Clickjacking prevention.");
});

This ensures that only your own domain ('self') can embed your ERP system in an iframe.

3. Avoiding Overuse of Frames in ERP Design

Minimizing iframe usage in your ERP design is another crucial step. If your application relies on iframes, use sandbox attributes with restrictions:

<iframe src="https://trusted-source.com" sandbox="allow-scripts allow-same-origin"></iframe>

4. Frame-Busting JavaScript

Another layer of protection can be achieved by implementing frame-busting code in your ERP:

if (window.top !== window.self) {
  window.top.location = window.self.location;
}

This ensures that if your ERP is loaded in an iframe, it will redirect the user to the main window.
