Missing X-Frame-Options Header
Your site is missing the X-Frame-Options header, which prevents your pages from being embedded in iframes on other websites.
Why This Matters
Attackers can embed your site in an invisible iframe on their malicious website and trick users into clicking things they didn't intend to (clickjacking). For example, users might think they're clicking a button on the attacker's site but are actually performing actions on your site.
How to Fix
Framework-specific solutions and general best practices
Add the X-Frame-Options header to all responses with the value 'DENY' (to block all framing) or 'SAMEORIGIN' (to allow only your own site to frame pages).
