Security Issue AWS Console?

1

Hello, when I refresh my AWS EC2 console, I receive "For security reasons framing is not allowed. Click OK to remove frames". Is this a type of security issue? This happens usually, when I refresh after a long time. Thx in advance

  • I have this problem as well, ever since the "new" EC2 console was made available.

This is probably the front-end javascript recognizing that the AWS Console is running inside a foreign IFRAME in your browser.

I think there can only be 2 reasons for such an IFRAME existing:

  • you are using a browser plugin that injects such an IFRAME and does not remove it properly
  • your OS or browser is infected with a virus that makes your browser IFRAME contents the virus tries to implement "clickjacking" this way.

The "Smooth Gestures Plus" for example is known to cause this, but there might be more.
