Package

gomod jub0bs/fcors (Go)

Affected versions

0.8.0

Patched versions

0.9.0

Description

Impact

Some CORS middleware (more specifically those created by specifying two or more origin patterns whose hosts share a proper suffix) incorrectly allow some untrusted origins, thereby opening the door to cross-origin attacks from the untrusted origins in question.

For example, specifying origin patterns https://foo.com and https://bar.com (in that order) would yield a middleware that would incorrectly allow untrusted origin https://barfoo.com.

Patches

Patched in v0.9.0.
