What it does

Hunt CORS Misconfiguration, origin-reflection with credentials, null-origin trust, subdomain-regex bypass (unanchored vs unescaped-dot vs prefix-only), pre-flight (OPTIONS) gating bypass, postMessage origin checks. High only when an attacker-controlled origin can perform a CREDENTIALED cross-origin read of sensitive data and you have proven it in a browser. Use when testing API endpoints, SPAs, or any app emitting Access-Control-* headers.

HUNT-CORS, Cross-Origin Resource Sharing Misconfiguration

What actually pays (and what does not)

CORS pays High only when an attacker-controlled origin can perform a credentialed cross-origin read of sensitive authenticated data, and you have a browser PoC proving the response body is readable from evil.com.

Two hard browser rules that kill most "findings", check these FIRST:

  • Access-Control-Allow-Origin: * CANNOT be combined with credentials. If the server returns ACAO: *, the browser refuses to send/expose the response for a credentials: include request. A wildcard-only endpoint is not credential-exploitable. It is only interesting if the data it serves is sensitive without a session (rare), usually this is Informational/Low.
  • Access-Control-Allow-Credentials: true is meaningless on its own. It matters only if ACAO reflects/allows your specific attacker origin AND a cross-origin credentialed fetch actually returns a readable body. ACAC on a response that does not reflect your origin proves nothing.

If you cannot demonstrate a readable cross-origin authed body in a real browser, you do not have a High. Do not submit header-diffing alone.
