CORS Misconfiguration Scanner
Detect dangerous CORS policies that could allow unauthorized cross-origin access.
How this scan works
- Send Origin: https://evil.example and inspect Access-Control-Allow-Origin
- Flag reflected-origin responses (ACAO echoes the sent Origin) combined with Access-Control-Allow-Credentials: true
- Flag a wildcard * on credentialed endpoints
- Check preflight (OPTIONS) handling on API-shaped routes (/api/*)
- Check Access-Control-Allow-Methods/Headers for over-broad allowances
