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
Common Causes
- Cascade added .allowedOrigins("*") to permit all domains
- CORS configuration allows all HTTP methods and headers
- 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.

I've scaled systems, automated deployments, and built observability tools for AI coding workflows. I specialize in taking vibe-coded apps from broken prototype to production-ready: fixing Supabase auth/RLS, Stripe integrations, deployment pipelines, and cleaning up AI-generated spaghetti.
I build tools in this space (agentprobe, claudebin, micode) and understand both sides: how AI generates code and why it breaks.

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.
