cors-cross-origin-misconfiguration

cors-cross-origin-misconfiguration is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from JustineDevs/premortem. It costs 43 tokens per session (2,369 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of cors-cross-origin-misconfiguration, Apache-2.0.

A guide for testing whether a website lets one origin—such as another domain—read data from an authenticated API in a browser.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review CORS settings, origin allowlists, browser preflight behavior, and authenticated cross-site access.
Why use it?
It helps uncover unsafe cross-origin rules, such as trusting arbitrary origins or allowing credentials where they should not be allowed.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

cors-cross-origin-misconfiguration scanned grade A with 1 finding against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 11d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

SKILL: CORS Misconfiguration — Credentialed Origins, Reflection, and Trust Boundary Errors

AI LOAD INSTRUCTION: Use this skill when browsers can access authenticated APIs cross-origin. Focus on reflected origins, credentialed requests, wildcard trust, parser mistakes, and origin allowlist bypasses. For JSONP hijacking deep dives, same-origin policy internals, honeypot de-anonymization, and CORS vs JSONP comparison, load the companion SCENARIOS.md.

Extended Scenarios

Also load SCENARIOS.md when you need:

  • JSONP hijacking complete attack scenario — watering hole + <script> cross-origin data theft
  • Honeypot de-anonymization via JSONP — use social platform JSONP endpoints to identify anonymous visitors
  • Same-origin policy deep dive — protocol/hostname/port definition, document.domain subdomain relaxation and its security risks
  • CORS vs JSONP technical comparison — methods, error handling, credential behavior, migration path
  • CORS exploitation payloads — reflected origin with credentials: include, null origin via sandboxed iframe
  • Dual-site attack lab pattern — localhost:8981 (target) + localhost:8982 (attacker) testing setup

1. WHEN TO LOAD THIS SKILL

Load when:

  • Responses contain Access-Control-Allow-Origin, Access-Control-Allow-Credentials, or preflight headers
  • A browser-based attack path might read authenticated API responses
  • JSON endpoints appear protected from CSRF but are readable cross-origin

2. HIGH-VALUE MISCONFIGURATION CHECKS

Theme What to Check
wildcard with credentials Access-Control-Allow-Origin: * plus credential support or equivalent broken behavior
reflected origin server echoes arbitrary Origin
weak allowlist suffix, prefix, substring, regex, or mixed-case matching errors
null origin acceptance of sandboxed, file, or serialized origins
preflight trust overbroad methods and headers
internal API exposure admin or tenant data readable cross-origin

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
