A frontend vulnerability refers to a security weakness present in the user interface or client-side code of a decentralized application or platform. These vulnerabilities can be exploited by malicious actors to compromise user data, manipulate displayed information, or redirect users to fraudulent sites. Mitigating such risks is essential for user protection.
Context
The current discussion concerning frontend vulnerabilities frequently involves phishing attacks, cross-site scripting (XSS) exploits, and the manipulation of user interface elements to deceive users.
