cors-auditor

cors-auditor is a skill for Claude Code from NovaCode37/claude-security-skills. It costs 89 tokens per session (680 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A checker for Cross-Origin Resource Sharing, or CORS. CORS controls which websites a browser is allowed to call an API from.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to check wildcard origins, reflected origins, the null origin, credentialed requests, and overly broad allowed methods.
Why use it?
It identifies settings that may let untrusted websites make requests or use a user's credentials. It can inspect saved headers or send a test Origin header to a live API.

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-auditor 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 yesterday.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 2 executable files (auditor.py, tests/test_auditor.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

stdlib `urllib` and sends a throwaway `Origin` header to detect origin

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 68 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

CORS Misconfiguration Auditor

Inspects CORS response headers and reports exploitable misconfigurations with fixes. The analysis core is pure and offline-testable; live probing uses only stdlib urllib and sends a throwaway Origin header to detect origin reflection.

When to use this skill

  • "Audit the CORS configuration of https://api.example.com."
  • "Is it safe that my API returns Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *?"
  • "Does my server reflect any Origin back?"

What it checks

  • Wildcard + credentialsAllow-Origin: * with Allow-Credentials: true (cors-wildcard-credentials).
  • Reflected origin — server echoes the request Origin back (cors-reflected-origin); critical when combined with credentials.
  • Null originAllow-Origin: null (cors-null-origin).
  • Wildcard originAllow-Origin: * without credentials (cors-wildcard).
  • Credentialed CORS — informational note when credentials are enabled (cors-credentials-enabled).
  • Wildcard methodsAllow-Methods: * (cors-methods-wildcard).

How to run it

# Live probe (sends a throwaway Origin to test reflection)
python skills/cors-auditor/auditor.py https://api.example.com

# Probe with a specific origin
python skills/cors-auditor/auditor.py https://api.example.com --origin https://evil.example

# Offline: audit a captured header block; pass --origin to test reflection
python skills/cors-auditor/auditor.py --headers-file resp.txt --origin https://evil.example

# Only fail CI on high/critical (hides the medium wildcard + info notes)
python skills/cors-auditor/auditor.py https://api.example.com --min-severity high

Exit codes: 0 clean · 1 findings reported · 2 fetch/usage error. Every reported finding fails the build. The default reports everything down to info (including cors-credentials-enabled); raise --min-severity to low/medium/high to filter advisory notes out of both the report and the exit code.

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.
