    CORS Misconfiguration Check

    Checks for overly permissive CORS settings that could expose your API to unauthorized access.

    Medium Priority

    What is this check?

    This check examines the `Access-Control-Allow-Origin` response header for overly permissive settings. A wildcard (`*`) CORS policy allows any website to make cross-origin requests to your site, while reflecting the requesting origin without validation can expose sensitive data.

    Why is it important?

    CORS controls which external domains can make requests to your server. An overly permissive policy can allow malicious websites to read data from your API endpoints, steal user credentials, or perform unauthorized actions on behalf of your users.

    What is the impact?

    Misconfigured CORS can expose private APIs, user data, and internal resources to unauthorized third-party websites. This is especially dangerous for authenticated endpoints that return sensitive user information.
