Frontend Exploit

Definition ∞ A frontend exploit is a security vulnerability that targets the user interface or client-side of an application. These exploits often leverage weaknesses in how the application presents information or handles user input to deceive or manipulate the user. The goal is typically to gain unauthorized access or extract sensitive information.
Context ∞ In the context of digital assets, frontend exploits frequently manifest as phishing attacks that mimic legitimate websites or applications to trick users into revealing private keys or approving malicious transactions. The sophistication of these attacks necessitates constant user education regarding secure browsing habits and the verification of digital signatures. Developers are continuously working to implement stronger client-side security measures to counter these threats.
