Closes #3889.
Description
This PR addresses a critical frontend vulnerability known as "reverse tabnabbing" by enforcing secure attributes on all outbound anchor links across the application.
Changes Made
<a>) that use thetarget="_blank"attribute to open links in a new tab.rel="noopener noreferrer"to every single one of these outbound links.Impact
noopenerleaves the application vulnerable because the newly opened malicious page can gain access to the original page'swindow.openerobject, potentially redirecting the user's original tab to a phishing site. Adding these attributes instructs the browser to sever this connection, protecting the user's session and improving overall platform security.
