Cascade Set CORS to Allow All Origins

CORS configuration is too permissive after Cascade set it to allow all origins ('*'). This is a security vulnerability that allows any website to make requests to your API, potentially accessing user data through browser-based attacks like CSRF.

Cascade likely used wildcard to 'fix' CORS issues without understanding security implications.

Error Messages You Might See

CORS policy: Access-Control-Allow-Origin: * CORS security configuration too permissive Wildcard CORS allows all origins
CORS policy: Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *CORS security configuration too permissiveWildcard CORS allows all origins

Common Causes

  1. Cascade added .allowedOrigins("*") to permit all domains
  2. CORS configuration allows all HTTP methods and headers
  3. allowCredentials=true with wildcard origins (security violation)

How to Fix It

Restrict CORS to specific allowed domains only. Specify exact origins: allowedOrigins("https://example.com", "https://app.example.com"). Be explicit about allowed methods (GET, POST) and headers. Never combine allowCredentials(true) with wildcard. Review CORS policy in WebSecurityConfig.

Day job: I'm the sole backend developer at merketing company where I own and maintain 11 PHP/Symfony microservices on AWS (ECS Fargate, RDS, S3, CloudFront), handle the full CI/CD pipeline (Bitbucket Pipelines, Docker), and manage monitoring with Sentry and CloudWatch. These services handle high request volumes in production every month. What I bring to AI-built apps: - I audit and fix security issues (OWASP methodology), performance bottlenecks, and architectural problems in codebases generated by Cursor, Claude Code, Lovable, Bolt, and v0 - I refactor AI-generated prototypes into production-grade applications with proper error handling, testing, and clean architecture (SOLID, DDD, hexagonal architecture) - I set up the infrastructure AI tools don't touch: AWS hosting, CI/CD pipelines, automated deployments, database optimization, monitoring, and alerting - I integrate external services: payment providers, email systems, partner APIs, SSO/auth Tech stack: PHP 8.x, Symfony, React, Next.js, PostgreSQL, MySQL, Docker, AWS (ECS, RDS, S3, SQS/SNS, CloudFront), Terraform, Supabase. I also use AI tools daily (Claude Code, Cursor) in my own workflow, so I understand both the strengths and the gaps in AI-generated code. Based in Poland (CET timezone).

Frequently Asked Questions

What's wrong with CORS wildcard?

Wildcard (*) allows any website to make requests. Combined with credentials, enables CSRF attacks.

How do I restrict CORS safely?

List specific allowed origins. Use allowCredentials(true) only with specific origins. Be explicit about methods/headers.
