Technical Details

Iframes are typically used to display the content of one web page on another page. Though useful in many legitimate contexts, the iframe functionality can be misused by attackers to insert malicious code hidden in the iframe tags into a target page for eventual display in a user's web browser, which will automatically execute the embedded code.

The malicious JavaScript code may be inserted on a page next to legitimate JavaScript code, making it more difficult for a user to differentiate the two and increasing the chances that the malicious behavior will be masked.

Once executed, the malicious JavaScript code can perform a variety of actions - most commonly, either redirecting the browser to unsolicited sites, displaying unsolicited content, or silently downloading other files onto the user's machine.
