Target=”_blank” – the most underestimated vulnerability ever

How to fix

Add this to your outgoing links.

rel="noopener"

Update: FF does not support “noopener” so add this.

rel="noopener noreferrer"

Remember, that every time you open a new window via window.open(); you’re also “vulnerable” to this, so always reset the “opener” property

var newWnd = window.open();
newWnd.opener = null;
source: $link[host]
