We have added another check to the website audit tool in SEOprofiler that helps you to find security vulnerabilities on your web pages:
Your website probably has this vulnerability
If you link with the target=’_blank’ attribute to another website, the page you are linking to gains partial access to the linking page via the window.opener object.
For example, the newly opened tab can change the window.opener.location to some phishing page. They can also execute some JavaScript on the opener-page on your behalf.
To fix this problem, just add rel=”noopener” to your links. Example:
<a href="https://www.example.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener">
