UI Security focuses on safeguarding an application’s user interface from deceptive or malicious manipulation.
Vulnerabilities in this area exploit how users interact with an app, often tricking them into performing unintended actions or bypassing security controls through misleading or hidden interface elements.
UI Security Tests
Tap Jacking
Tests whether attackers can overlay invisible or misleading elements over legitimate app screens, tricking users into clicking buttons or granting permissions without their knowledge — a tactic commonly used in mobile app attacks.
Client-Side Based Authorization Decisions
Evaluates whether authorization logic (like verifying user roles or permissions) is improperly handled on the client side, rather than securely enforced by the server — allowing attackers to manipulate the UI or underlying code to access restricted features or data.
